He has only job number, user, and job name.  DLTSPFL *SELECT requires that
SELECT(user device formtype userdata) be specified, which will delete
spooled files for the specified selection criteria (not for the specified
job/user/job number).  You might want to use the SpooledFileList() class
along with either setUserFilter, setUserDataFilter, etc. as appropriate to
generate a list of spooled files for the filtered user, user data, etc.
respectively.  Then you can traverse the list, instantiating a SpooledFile
object for each one, and then getJobNumber(), getJobUser(), getJobName(),
etc., comparing to your target job/user/job number.  Use
SpooledFile.delete() for each one you want to delete.
