Re: deleting Audit reports

[Boris Goldenberg <bpcsguru@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you have TAATOOLS installed, one of the commands is DLTOLDSPLF - it
deletes spooled files older than xx days.  I wrote a quick CL and put
it on a job scheduler to run every day.  The CL is:

 PGM                                                       
 ADDLIBLE   LIB(TAATOOL)                                   
 MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)                                 
                                                           
 DLTOLDSPLF OUTQ(*LIBL/*ALL) RETAINDAYS(10) LIST((MTHEND + 
              QGPL))                                       
 MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)                                 
                                                           
 RMVLIBLE   LIB(TAATOOL)                                   
 MONMSG     MSGID(CPF0000)                                 
 ENDPGM
