Subject: Systematically deleting spool files meeting certain criteria

We have a situation.

We have some ten thousand spool files created by a program that somehow
was allowed to run wild for a week, before anybody noticed that it was
running wild.

Anybody know of a way to delete a whole lot of spool files, all with the
same jobname, in a hurry?
