Be careful if you adjust the maximum spooled files and use the RCLSPL[STG]-- we had some severe slowdowns when we tried to prune things too much-- jobs were delayed when they tried to create new spooled file members. Spooling uses a set of files to store spooled files. Each new document is tucked into a member in a file. In order to add a new member, spooling needs an exclusive lock on the file (just as user applications do with databse files). Although spooling does have several files to choose from, if things get busy delays (and errors) can result. We 'cured' the problem by setting the 'automatic pruning' to keep at least 1 month's worth of spooled file members around. This gets us through 'any' month ending (our busiest period).

As far as I know, having extra spooled file members lying around doesn't count as far as 'jobs in the system' is concerned.

Out of curiosity-- if you DSPSYSSTS, has the maximum jobs in system changed since you started your clean up process? If the only thing left of a job is the JOBLOG, deleting it should lower the number.
