Re: large number jobs in system-wrksyssts

[Jim Franz <franz9000@xxxxxxxxx>]

but for this to be true
Jobs in system . . . . . :      96417
% perm addresses . . . . :       .016
% temp addresses . . . . :       .495

Users:
Signed off with printer output waiting to print  . . . . :       393
Batch jobs:
Ended with printer output waiting to print . . . . . . . :     15600

Perhaps a reclaim spool storage RCLSPLSTG?
