Try playing around with DFDSS with JCL like this and DEFINITELY test with
TYPRUN=NORUN before running it live.
//CATCLEAN EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN',
// REGION=8M
//SYSUT2 DD DUMMY
//*YSU03 DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=TSOS03
//SYSIN DD *,DCB=BLKSIZE=80
DUMP -
OUTDD(SYSUT2) -
DATASET (INCLUDE (BF19.**) -
BY ((CREDT,LE,*,-1))) DELETE
/*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD DUMMY
You can change the INCLUDE statement to be what you want and then change the BY
parameter to be -365 instead of -1.
The dummy output will make sure the datasets are deleted when it finishes.
