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
