The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

We have an empty programmer output queue that is shown as having a

We've tried multiple CLROUTQ's to no avail.
Does anyone know what might be causing this behavior? Would a
RCLSPLSTG
reset the size?
Queues of all types expand as content is added that will cause the
queue to exceed its current size but are not automatically reduced by
removing queue entries. The traditional way of reclaiming the space is
to delete and recreate.
Deleting a spooled file removes the queue entry for the file and
empties the container (a member in a file in QSPL) of the spooled file
data. It does not reduce the queue size. RCLSPLSTG will remove the
container for the spooled file itself (i.e., the member in an file in
QSPL) but I think will do nothing to the size of the output queue.
One way to manage the size of output queues is to stop using them as
permanent repositories. Spooled files are not meant to retain data
(unless printed and filed)--that's what database files are for.
NOTE: Data queues support an AUTORCL keyword on the CRTDTAQ command
which makes this situation more manageable but I think other queue
types do not expose/support that attribute.
