If you use Help Systems' Robot/Schedule, it comes with the AGEOUTQ command. You tell the command how many times it can 'see' a spool file entry before it's deleted. Each time the program runs, it adds a number to the back end of the User Data (?) field attached to the spool file entry. When the number exceeds the number in the command, it's history.

You run the command as often as you want, each time the number grows. For example, you tell the command "3", and run it once a week, and your spool files 'live' for 3 weeks (or is it 4-- I can never remember if the command looks for a match or greater than).

You run the command for each output queue (I don't remember if there's a list option for the outq name or not).

We use it regularly to keep our spool files in check.
