I would send all the programmers output to a certain class and when the spool gets full, delete the oldest output in that class.

Most likely due to it being "easy" and not needing to bother with estimating his dataset size requirements. So, what would people think about being able to put a quota on JES2 SPOOL space by userid? Of course, scheduled jobs (test, model office/q&a, and prod) would need to run under an exempt userid. And I guess STCs should be exempt also. What about TSO logons? And what should happen when the quota is exhausted? An abend? An I/O error reported to the job? The Who'ville Company employed a Grinch that loved to send his reports to the spool. In that same company was a programmer who got fed up and decide to write an automation rule. The rule could ensure that the Grinch's reports were retained, purged or printed. And the programmer's boss was happy that a new exit didn't have to be invented!
