If this is something you don't do often but need to automate because doing it manually is just too much work, there is another way: WrkMbrPDM. PDM has an option to display the member date and to sort by date. You could sort them descending, then place a 4 (delete) on the newest member to delete, then do an F13 to repeat to the last member. Another option in PDM would be to do F17 and enter the appropriate from and to dates, then repeat the 4 and F13 actions as above. Bill

Removing file members in multi-member file

In an old version of TAATOOL, there was a command RVMOLDMBR that could be used to remove a group of file members based on certain criteria (See code). How can I get this command to use or what code do I use to do the same thing in a CL or RPGLE program? Thanks for any help.

You could do a DspFD to an outfile specifying the *MbrList option. This will generate a file containing information on each member. You would then calculate the age of each member and process accordingly. Bill

I tried to locate this command on our system using the WRKCMD command, but could not locate the RMVOLDMBR command." Did you purchase the tools? They are no longer free (haven't been for over 5 years.) but you can buy them here: http://www.taatool.com/index.htm They are the best buy in town and will pay for themselves in short order. chuck Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.

The error that I am getting is RMVOLDMBR command is not in the TAATOOL library. I tried to locate this command on our system using the WRKCMD command, but could not locate the RMVOLDMBR command. Do you know of a way to do the same thing with code? Thanks.

We have the latest version of TAATOOL and we still have the RMVOLDMBR command. Are you sure you are not getting an error because the member is locked?
