Re: Check existence of a directory?

Are you submitting the job that creates the spooled file, like maybe a
compile or something? The spooled file that you're trying to delete is
not in the same job as the job issuing the delete command. Do a WRKSPLF
and determine the job that created the spooled file. Then do a DSPJOB -
your interactive job must be different than the spooled file job.
