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
