First of all... THANK YOU!! The addition of MVS FTP support in v5 is a great step in the right direction for me!

On that note, the MVS file system has the concept of "generations" of datasets. For example, a file called "PAYMENTS" could have one generation per day, such as "PAYMENTS.G2705V00", the next day's file would be "PAYMENTS.G2706V00", the next day "PAYMENTS.G2707V00", etc..

In MVS syntax, you could use a wildcard to refer to the most recent generation of the file: "PAYMENTS(+0)". Similarly, you could refer to previous generations by using "PAYMENTS(-1)", "PAYMENTS(-2)", etc. VisualCron doesn't seem to support this syntax, but is there any other way to retrieve the most recent generation of a dataset? What wildcards are supported by VisualCron? I know I could use the "*" to retrieve all the files in a particular directory, but I only want the latest one..

As always, any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Mike

We don't have that support right now as we only process the raw feed from MVS servers. I am moving this thread to Feature requests.
