Great comment.  Wasn't there some direct email address for the Navigator 
people?

Agreed, Rob, although I tend to cut-paste a column of 4's when I remove a 
bunch of spooled files. But I liked the fact that I can group by USRDTA in 

OpsNav, then click-shift-click to pick what I want. This is a lot easier 
than WRKSPLF *SELECT then specifying the User Data. Of course, DLTSPF 
*SELECT and specifying USRDTA is pretty cool, too.

One problem I see with spooled file handling in OpsNav comes when I want 
to 
change the attributes of multiple items. In WRKSPLF you put a 2 on the 
ones 
you want to change, then put the changes on the command line (one time 
only), then press ENTER and all get the change. In OpsNav, a separate 
window pops up for each spooled file. Even Windows Explorer does this 
better - you pick multiple items and right-click, the popup window grays 
out items that are not common, so you can make the same change to multiple 

files.

Cheers

Vern
