The syntax you would probably want to use is DISK:/path...  The archive
logs 
will automatically be copied from the active log path to that path
specified 
in the LOGARCHMETH1 parm. You do not need any exit program if you use this

parm.

It is always possible that an archived log file might need to be used. For

example if you needed to restore from a backup and roll forward the logs.

You will need to manually purge the archive logs (unless you have Version 
9.5) via a cron script (an exit program is not needed). You will want to 
keep the archive logs at least until before the last backup (so you can
roll 
the logs forward from the backup time to the current time or end of logs),

and maybe longer if you need to ever restore the next-to-last backup and 
then roll forward.
