RE: Ignoring a Spool File

Unless the spool file is the only or very last file that the job generates
this won't work. If this is the only spool file - and the program you are
calling doesn't generate a job log - then you are probably set.

You could override the print file to put all the spool files into a
specific outqueue and schedule a job to run every half hour clearing it -
this is probably the least amount of work in my opinion.

The suggestion to override to an outqueue in qtemp seems a good one but
might have a couple of draw backs - I would need to test it to be sure but
my guess is this would not work. For starters, the system will not let you
delete an outqueue with spool files so I suspect the program would throw up
errors. Thats presuming you can even create an outqueue in qtemp and I have
a feeling this is not allowed.
