Agreed, Rob, although I tend to cut-paste a column of 4's when I remove a bunch of spooled files. But I liked the fact that I can group by USRDTA in OpsNav, then click-shift-click to pick what I want. This is a lot easier than WRKSPLF *SELECT then specifying the User Data. Of course, DLTSPF *SELECT and specifying USRDTA is pretty cool, too.

One problem I see with spooled file handling in OpsNav comes when I want to change the attributes of multiple items. In WRKSPLF you put a 2 on the ones you want to change, then put the changes on the command line (one time only), then press ENTER and all get the change. In OpsNav, a separate window pops up for each spooled file. Even Windows Explorer does this better - you pick multiple items and right-click, the popup window grays out items that are not common, so you can make the same change to multiple files.

Cheers

Being able to blast a bunch of spool files beats the snot out of having to
press 4 in front of dozens of screens of spool files.  (My wrist hasn't
had that much work since I was a teenager.)
