The Archive function has always been painfully limited in the flexibilities
that it offers, such as it being unable to accept a list of files when the
list is contained in a file.  Your only real option is to run something like
the Unix 'find' command to traverse the file system and invoke dsmc on each
file of target age.  I would not move or copy candidate files to another
area and archive from there, as they become known as being from that unusual
area rather than their native area.  You might try creating a subdirectory
with symlinks to the target files; but I'd do the 'find ... exec ...'.
