Before I'm going to re-invent the wheel: I need to remove spool files older than xxx days from my system spool queue. If anyone has a routine, I would appreciate getting it. A part of this problem is counting the days since <date>. Such a <hopefully> small program can be useful in general. Anyway, if someone could help me?|? Currently, we are doing the spoolclear with REXX. It's a bit slow because of REXX doesn't know the DIAG 4, and simulation by DCP xx.yy is expensive. Thanks for help, -Wolfram

Harry, thanks for sending the SPOOLSTK files. Meanwhile I incorporated the module into our operating. Well, it works. It's really that what I needed to replace my EXEC at its slowest parts. Thanks again, -Wolfram
