Re: Hiding spoolfiles from outq x -- MIDRANGE-L

Oliver,

Outqs do have some special authority options all their own.  If I recall
correctly,  WRKOUTQD outqname  and then press F13 to change them.  I've
never tried to do this to the job log outq, so I'm not sure if you could
essentially revoke authority to it so users would not see spooled files on
it w/o having the system generate errors when it tries to create job logs.
Perhaps someone else on the list has attempted this?

Another option would be to change the logging level on the job descriptions
so that job logs are not created if the job finishes normally.  If you are
having to debug app problems you can always change it back.

Chuck
