Re: Delete all but latest spool file member

[Jeff Crosby <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As an alternative, how about expiring spool files?

I don't know exactly what you may be after, but you can do either OVRPRTF
EXPDATE(thedate) or OVRPRTF EXPDATE(*DAYS) DAYS(1).  Then use a job
scheduler job to run once a day and run the DLTEXPSPLF command.  It gets
rid of all expired spool files.

I use the DAYS() example a lot.  Some reports 1 day, some 3 days, some 30
days, etc.  There are different logs or registers that I create, never
intending to print, but may want to look at if an issue arises.
