How to remove old files without recursion?

Hi folks,

I need to write a script which remove files with suffix *.dmp from a specific directory ,older than 30 days and not including recursive subdirectories.

I.e:
The following command remove recursive all *.dmp files older than 30 days:
Code:
find $ORACLE_BASE -mtime +30 -type f -name "*.dmp" -exec rm {} \;
I need to remove files older than 30 days but only under $ORACLE_BASE without its subdirectories.

How to do it?

Thanks in advance,
Nir
