When I started here there were over 230,000 spool files on the system.
Nothing was ever cleaned up and no one knew how to figure out what was
there.
We had an incident where payroll spool files were left. Someone saw them
and tried to get raise. Person no longer here.
I wrote a spool manager that decides what should happen to each spool file
the moment it is created. The processes include archiving it to the IFS
(takes 10% of the space), emailing the report and deleting it. After it is
in the IFS for say 90 days for job logs, it is deleted.
Now spool files are on the IBMi in that format for only a second.
The basics are CrtDtaQ and AddEnvVar to add entry to DtaQ when spool file
is created. I have a pgm that monitors the DataQ.
Works extremely well here.

Subject: help deleting spool files
When doing a DLTSPLF I cannot figure out a way to input the changing USER
DATA or JOB from the spool file information. I can give my six character
number a starting point and then increment. With a stopping point.
But how would I delete a mass of say joblogs that being dumped into a
spool file everyday to hold down on system space.
