Makes sense, Pete, since spooled files are a kind of virtual entity, anyhow. They don't reside in OUTQs, they are members of physical files. The outqs are an abstraction, a way of presenting what is contained in those PF members.

Whew, never quite looked at it this way before.

So the spooled files can't be lost by the system. They can if YOU, the customer, were able to delete an OUTQ, but we can't do that ourselves, as I recall.

I haven't lost a spool file during any upgrade to 6.1 (V6R1). Each *OUTQ is
deleted and recreated during the installation of the OS, the only think I
have noticed is the object changed date is updated.

Subject: upgrade to 6.1, rebuild outq's

To those who have upgraded to 6.1:

The memo to users mentions about having to delete and rebuild output queue's.
Does this mean that the spool files are going to be deleted?

I don't think so, but when I upgrade hardware or software, I back up spool files anyway just to be safe...

Thanks much
