I'm looking for an elegant way to PURGE all
but the last 'n' files in a fileset?

FILE001  <---- want to purge this.
FILE002  <---- want to purge this.
FILE003  <---- want to purge this.
FILE010  <---- want to purge this.
FILEA00  <---- want to purge this.
FILEXYZ  <---- want to keep this.
FILEXZZ  <---- want to keep this.
FILEZZZ  <---- want to keep this.


I know I could read a LISTF into a file and
manipulate the filenames into a JOB stream
for PURGEing.  (It just doesn't seem elegant.)

MPEX is available.
