   subject: Is there a way to mass-delete several hundred spool files?
   Is there an easy, non-tedious way to mass-delete a few hundred spool
   files (all with the same user, jobname, file, and queue)?
   Something less tedious than going into WRKSPLF and hammering away at "4"
   and "PgDn"?
    
   YES!!!  
    
   If you have the lattes ACS... open RunSQL Scripts.  Click on the insert
   from examples.... If you search for 'managing spool'   There is a lovely
   bit of SQL that shows how to use the delete_old_spooled_files function
   that the operating system has deliver in systools.   
    
   For those that dont have that (shame on you...) 
    
   call Systools.Delete_Old_Spooled_Files(Delete_Older_Than => current
   timestamp - 30 days,
   -- p_output_queue_library_name => ,
   -- p_output_queue_name => ,
         P_User_Name => 'JOEUSER', Preview => 'YES');
