hi Andy
Thanks for the pointing me in the right direction.
I can see that this will not be an overnight fix.
It's time for me to hit the books + learn perl.
thanks, Gary

This question comes up every so often. No, there are no command line parms
to do what you want. You would need to use an external tool to determine
which files you want to archive, then archive the specific files (or use
the external tool to build a file list that can be processed via the
-filelist option).

Before you take this on, have a look at APAR IC49009, because it might
possibly affect you.

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
