Hi Kolusu, I have this include cond,
INCLUDE COND=(DCURCTYP,EQ,DCUDATAT,AND, * Type = Data type DSN5,NE,C'OMVS.',&, * Exclude OMVS.** files DSN5,NE,C'SYS1.',&, * Exclude SYS1.** FILES DSN5,NE,C'SYS2.',&, * Exclude SYS2.** FILES DCDCREDT,LT,DATE3P-30,&, * Created < currdate - 30 DCDLSTRF,LT,DATE3P-30,&, * LastRef < currdate - 30 DCDSTGRP,GT,C' ') * Stor grp name not blank which you helped me set. Now I would like to exclude all the files that have been created since the last ipl. In order to do that I would have to add a line like this: DCDCREDT,LT,ipldate,&, * Created < IPL date As far as I could gather I do not have such a variable either from DFSORT or System Symbols. I do not want to resort to rexx (or other language) programming to do that. It would be quite easy and, a few years ago, I would generate all the JCL by rexx programming and submit it from within the rexx. However, I want to have this done only with straightforward IBM products, so I can pass it to other teams that do not have programming skills. Do you think that there is a way to achieve this? Thank you very much for your assistance, Best Regards Jack On Tue, 23 Aug 2022 at 17:02, Jack Zukt <jzuk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Kolusu, > > I was hoping that DFSORT might have a way to use it directly as I want the > JCL to be simple to read and maintain.
