Although there are many ways to clean up IFS files, it seems that the easiest way is to use QShell.
Create a QTXTSRC file with all the IFS directories you want to clean out. Specify the number of days old. The example below uses 31 and 60 days old.
*************** Beginning of data ********
0001.00 find /Directory/Backup/*.* -mtime +31 -exec rm -d {} ; 0002.00 find /Otherfile/stuff/*.* -mtime +60 -exec rm -d {} ; Then run the command like - STRQSH CMD('qsys.lib/imgprdsrc.lib/qtxtsrc.file/vimgifsarc.mbr')
- Great tip, worked like a charm and it's true "QShell is the easiest way to clean up IFS files". I properly saved four hours per week of cleaning unwanted IFS files!— Emad Banoub
