Actually, virtually all users have *SPLCTL (yea, I know... what's with
that?). That was a product of a former employee and nobody has made the
push to do anything about it. I did look at removing *SPLCTL from
everybody which would solve the problem of clearing the outq's but it still
wouldn't leave any "footprints in the butter" of who the responsible party
was. I would also have to change the outq's too to allow people to see
other people's spool files (where needed). Still, we have a number of jobs
scheduled in Robot under group profiles like SSA or KRONOS. Who would be
able to delete those spool files?
Ultimately, *SPLCTL should probably go away. Maybe now is the time...?

As much as I am a proponent of exit programs, this seems like a good
place to secure the outq itself. Any chance that this user has *JOBCTL
(or *SPLCTL) special authority?
If they do, then consider removing the Special Authority from the user.
Another option is to change the AUTCHK parameter on the out queue to
(*OWNER), so as to prevent the user from deleting entries that they
don't own. Either of these approaches would be easier than writing an
exit program.
