As others have mentioned, you can use DLTSPLF to delete a single 
spoolfile or several, based on selection critera. You can extend this in 
a CL by a WRKOUTQ to *PRINT, CPYSPLF & RCVF (as also mentioned) or you 
can use the system APIs (QUSLSPL is the principal one) to identify the 
spooled files you want & process the entries (in a user space) in CL 
(hard) or RPG (easier). You could have a look at my PRGOUTQ or MOVOUTQ 
utilities for examples of the latter method. Tom Liotta 
(http://zap.to/tl400) has loads of code examples of using just CL to 
process system APIs if you want a CL only solution.
