Re: AS/400: Computer memory used up by spool files

Hi to all who responded to this posting and others who
may have read and learned:

To Eric A. Wolf: I save all of my Query/400 spool
files and some of the larger Mapics spool files.  They
are stored in Queues that are described with Fiscal
Year Dates and Project Description (such as,
Inventory, Cycle Counting, etc.). 

I've always figured that they are readily accessible
in this format and would be subject to deletion the
same way hard copies are destroyed after so many
years.

To Glenn Ericson: We don't have a microfiche copy
machine at our shop.

To Ann Neal: Yes, I'm aware that spool files are not
backed up.  Why this is...is beyond me?

To Dave Shaw, Mapics ML Manager: Thanks for the CL
command.  It worked perfectly and gave me the amount
of bytes used up by all my Queues.

To Lisa Thomas: My screens only have Views 1 thru 3
with the F10 and F11 keys.  I can only assume our
version of the operating system is very old.

To Gernot Langle: Your report is over my head but
would probably be useful to other Mapics ML members. 
Thank you for its submission.

Again, thanks to all of your for your valued
assistance.

Have a good week.

Regards,
Al Gershen
