Jean,

Does it take into consideration the time stamp of the file or the system date when the file was created. I need that it take into consideration the file timestamp rather than when it was created.

I tried this with your script and created a file BARE01_DLY_MKT_20060528 and ran this command but it didn't move it to archive nor it throwed any error. Kindly suggest
