Try something like: CHANGE userid RDR spoolid NOSYS
Or PURGE userid RDR spoolid -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Clapper Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 1:23 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: DMSWRC687E I'm trying to display very old Spool files, and DISCARD them, using RDRL in CMS. The Spool files are simply Console Logs from a USER. I receive the following messages: DMSWRC687E This is a SYSTEM HELD file--this file cannot be received DMSWDC653E Error executing RECEIVE 0008 (PURGE, rc=1 I can't find a messages book with these in them. Three questions: 1. Where is a book that describes these messages? 2. How does a Spool file get a "SYSTEM HELD" status? 3. How do I get rid of these Spool files?
