Onderwerp: Clearing out spool files


Greetings,

As part of our nightly backup we have several OUTQ's that we clear out.
We've discussed the possibility of deleting spool files older than two days
so that we could reference recent activity.  Is there an easy way to
accomplish this (system values, shareware, etc)?  I could do a WRKOUTQ OUTQ
(*ALL) OUTPUT(*PRINT) then a CPYSPLF to a database file, read through it
looking for the desired output queues, then do a DSPSPLFA to get the date,
and delete it if it's too old.  That just seems like a lot of work and I'd
rather not reinvent the wheel if it's already been done.  Any suggestions
would be appreciated.
