Hi

RCLSPLSTG doesn't have any effect on *OUTQ objects that I know of. Could be wrong, of course. Look at the help text, and you'll see that this command removes unused, empty members of the PFs in which spooled files are stored. These members are cleared but not removed when a spooled file is deleted, so as to allow reuse, hence, better performance when creating spooled files (printed output).

I don't know about the *OUTQ object itself - that would probably be something that contains a list of the spooled files that it "queues" - it never has the actual contents of the spooled files. I looked at several OUTQs on a v5r3 machine, and they are typically 24KB or 32KB or 40KB - seems they get bumped by 8KB as needed. Didn't do an exhaustive study - are yours larger that that? If so, maybe do a DMPOBJ on the OUTQ and see what you see - might not be meaningful, bu maybe!

Is this something that is reduced during an IPL?
