You have a few alternatives ...
ISMF dialogs
DFDSS
DCOLLECT
but You will have to write Your own post processor
( file 206 of the CBT tape has some very nice examples )
for dfdss here is a hint
Code: Select all
000005 //DSS EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=0M,
000006 // PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN'
000007 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
000008 //SYSIN DD *
000009 DUMP -
000010 DATASET( -
000011 INCLUDE( -
000012 <some high level qualifier>.** -
000013 ) -
000014 BY( REFDT LT (*,-365) ) -
000015 ) -
000016 OUTDDNAME(OUT)
000017 //OUT DD DUMMY

When you say "older than 365 days" do you mean that the data sets were CREATED more than 365 days ago, or data sets that were last REFERENCED more than 365 days ago?

IMO the TS , given the DFDSS snippet provided,
should be able to infer the keyword to be used for create date instead of the reference date
( reading the manual - naturally )
