Re: Two questions, Re: Getting rid of jobs and spool files

James,
I try to look at SQL's Stored Procedure Language or SPL as the new CL.
This mentality helps one to get over the gyrations it takes to incorporate
SQL into CL. Then it makes it so much easier to use the SQL services to
get those files you want. Once you can accept that then it becomes quite
easy to wrap the following:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. I'd like to be able to quickly, quietly, headlessly, and
programmatically (preferably from CL) get rid of all jobs of a given
name (call it "FOOBAR" for now), whether SCD or ACTIVE. Surely this
can't be the first time this has come up. Is there an easy way to do this?

2. In the process of setting up an experiment for this, I discovered
that we had a server that was getting a steady stream of undesired
traffic in a protocol other than what it was expecting, with the result
that I had several thousand spool files, all from different (but
identically named) jobs. Is there a way to mass-delete these? All I
found was this:

which doesn't seem to address the "many different identically-named
jobs" part of the problem. Anybody have any suggestions for this?
