Re: spool file status

Hello Alan,

If you do not want to delete spool files that hasn't been printed it should
be safe to delete only those having the status SAV. There are a number of
intermediate statuses but eventually a spool file - that has been printed -
will end up as either SAV (saved) or FIN (finished and deleted).

Best regards,
Carsten Flensburg
