Re: Ignoring a Spool File

You may also want to specify HOLD(*YES) just in case the OUTQ it lands in
happens to have a writer associated with it.  Otherwise it may start
printing before you can delete it.

If you're going to use an OVRPRTF to hold the spooled file, you could
follow
the call to the program with a DLTSPLF *LAST.
It would still produce the report, but it would delete the spool file right
away.
