I usually keep 7 days worth of accounting records and each night old files are deleted. However, on January 1, the routine fails to work because the files are sorted in mmddyy order, thereby, putting the December files before the January files. It keeps the last 7 days of December and deletes new January files each night. I need something that will recognize it as first day of the year and kick off yearend cleanup routine to get rid of all files prior to the January 1 file being created. Cannot figure out a way to "automate" this!
Anne, The solution here is to convert the mmddyy dates to rexx base dates, then see if they are 7 days old. -- Rich Greenberg N Ft Myers, FL, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 239 543 1353 Eastern time.
