RE: Removing All Spool Files For A User

Dwayne,

I probably should have responded sooner but I wasn't sure what you were trying 
to do.  I have a utility that will remove spool files by various conditions.  
One of which is user ID.  I would post the code but it's over 300 lines and I 
can't find the link David gave out to the midrange code site.  The utility also 
removes spool files by date so you could set it up to remove old spool files 
after a given number of days and keep the number down going forward.

I know some others pointed you to similar products or utilities and you have 
already developed a solution but if this would be of some help let me know and 
I can send the code off line, or if someone will post the code link again I can 
post it there.

HTH,

Rick

Thanks for your help.

I created a spool file with a list of all the spool file that were located in 
the queue.  Than I took the spool file in created a physical file.  The 
physical file has the file name, job name, user name and number.  I than 
created a program that would read the physical file and than I created a CL 
that used the DLTSPLF command. This cleared only the spool file I we did not 
need.  In this case we were at 87% storage and when I deleted the information 
we are now at 53%.
