Perhaps a format to date? Less likely from referencefile ? Is it portable? Looking at: <https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.2.0?topic=descriptions-find-find-file-that-meets-specified-criteria> I read: -size number[c] ... number is a decimal number, optionally preceded by a plus or minus sign. If a number is given without a sign, find tests for equality. A plus sign implies greater than or older than, and a minus sign implies less than or newer than. "-size" doesn't test for older or newer. I'll submit a Feedback. When I first encountered MVS, my mentors lauded the quality of IBM documentation. Nowadays it appears that Copy-and-Paste eliminates the need for proofreading. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
