That's a blast from the past. I remember using that many, many years ago.

If you are writing your own from scratch, I would use the DB2 services to get a list of spool files as others have mentioned and then iterate through the results. If you want to start from an old RPG (not even ILE) example, then look at IBM's DLTOLDSPLF utility. It might even work for you as is. https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1019285

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.
