RE: IBM Q objects that are not used

I'm usually loath to delete any object that IBM delivers except by removing
licensed program products. You're never quite sure what the object
dependencies are when applying PTFs and making changes to the system.

Besides that you're talking about a miniscule amount of space to be saving.
Additionally if you have a product like BRMS or Robot/Save they will get
cranky when objects like that go missing.

I'm in Spring house cleaning mode.
Just deleted 100+ libraries of old apps no longer used.
Did the same for jobds, outqs, jobqs, etc.
Space isn't the issue.
Seeing a cleaner screen when you call the below cmds.
WRKJOBQ
WRKOUTQ
WRKJOBD
Etc.

My manager asked many moons ago if I could delete/remove some of these Q
objects.
I feel the same as you guys do, but thought I'd ask anyway.

Why are you wanting to delete these objects? As Rob says they are probably
very small and I wouldn't want to have to answer to a higher up if I deleted
a Q* object that was needed some time down the road.

The e-mail below is from an external source. Please do not open attachments
or click links from an unknown or suspicious origin.

IBM creates many Q objects that are never used.
Jobqs, Jobds, Outqs, Userprofiles, etc.
Is it safe to delete these?
Based on the name, some are from S/36 days.
QS36...
Will an i5/OS upgrade restore them?

Any thoughts from the group?

Thank You
