Charles,
I like Bobby Herring's solution. We use similar commands combined with
automation at one customer.
AUTO is very, very easy to install.
It uses a PDS with this syntax : @2230
At 2230, it does whatever is in the member with a day flag:
----+----1----+----2----+
* MTWTF I SMF
MTWTFSS S DELDUMP
I clean up the dump dataset at intervals.
