Hmmm... I get the impression that Ron's answer is "almost", [and will certainly work for the first week], but for the second week you want to exclude what you "processed" last week, correct?

It may be doable with a LISTFILE;SELEQ=[...] construct, but I suspect an MPEX selection will be much faster/easier:

   %listf [log in to unmask](credate>today-8),6 > somefile
   %input firstlogfile < somefile
   %setvar firstlognum rht(token(firstlogfile,'.'),4)
   %runcreate logtool.pub.sys
   %runinput SUMMARIZE log=!FIRSTLOGNUM/9999
   %runinput exit
   %runactivate

[runcreate/input/activate is cool...]

the "rht(token..." stuff pulls the filename out of a fully-qualified file, then returns the right-most 4 characters (digits) to the variable.
