I am guessing then that there is no possible combination to get this done then?


Why guess? Read the responses.

WE can only do it with a Support pack?


There are a number of ways to do this, one is a support pac.

I'd also be concerned by such a global rule, implemented by a mythical queue manager setting or otherwise. Suppose you set this up such that any message older than X is removed. Joy. Queues are shiny, clean and mostly empty.

Then 6 months down the line someone develops an application which batches up messages (check on this forum for all the posts asking how to run a WMB flow once an hour). Half of the messages sit waiting longer than X, mysteriously vanish and the application people spend ages wondering why their messages vanish.

Or 6 months down the line a consuming application has an unfortunate upgrade applied to it which causes messages to back up in the queue because the application has stopped reading them (or stopped completely). If it takes longer than X to resolve the problem messages are lost.

This is all academic of course. If you delete all messages off a queue manager older than X the queue manager stops working just after all the messages it holds for it's own use are removed...
