Used to be the case with some commands you had to be at least file
     system specific but I've caught comments from others where this is not
     the case currently.  I haven't really had time to look into this in
     great detail.

     Have you tried

     archive "/DUMP/*/*.tran*" -subdir=yes

     the /.../ is only for use within include/exclude statements...
     with archive it will be the standard * wildcard and I'd throw in the
     -subdir=yes just to make sure it would travel the directory tree
     (rather than maybe just looking a single subdir deep)

        I realize that I should know this, but I am having a brain cramp.
What I want is simple: I want to archive all of the "*.tran*" files from
multiple filesystems with one command:

Here is what the filesystems look like:

/DUMP/1-1
/DUMP/1-2
/DUMP/1-3
/DUMP/....

I know I can create an archive command like this, but in some cases there
are over 50 filesystems:

archive /DUMP/1-1/*.tran* /DUMP/1-2/*.tran* /DUMP/1-3/*.tran*....

But I was wondering if there is a way to do it more simply, like:

archive /DUMP/.../*.tran*
        or
archive /DUMP/*.tran* -subdir=yes

I think I've tried all the combinations I can think of. Any suggestions?
