[comp.lang.asm370] SINCE routine

@rice.edu:MAINT@DB0FUB11.BITNET (Wolfram Fassbender) (10/02/89)

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
