x2afpd naming conventions for output files

IBM Infoprint XT for z/OS
GI11-9492-01

When x2afpd keeps problem determination or listing output, it uses this file naming convention:
jobname-jobid-n.ext-timestamp

Where:

jobname
Indicates the z/OS job name.
jobid
Indicates the z/OS job identifier.
n
Indicates a sequence number that x2afpd uses to keep the file name unique when the job name and job identifier are not unique.
ext
Indicates the file extension. For problem determination output, the extension is dbg. For listing output, the extension is lst.
timestamp
Indicates the file expiration time, which is expressed in terms of the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC, 1 January, 1970. This component of the file name exists only when a retention period was in effect when x2afpd created the file.
Note: The file expiration time denotes when a file is eligible for removal. Infoprint XT removes it the next time the x2afpd cleanup process runs. The cleanup process itself is not timer driven, so some files might exist for some period of time after the retention period expires.
