Re: Clean up the spool

Sorry, Rob, but I would have to say that your idea of SPOOLCHN sounds to me like bit twiddling when someone would calculate that 2 LR instructions used a cpu cycle less than 1 SS instruction. CPU cycles are getting cheap. I don't doubt that there are installations that couldn't afford to use

Re: Clean up the spool

SFPURGER is the easiest way to go. But as already mentioned, servers that never log off can get a big spool file and it cannot be purge until it is closed. And, maybe even worse: when close, they can be purged too quickly as they will appear to be old. Example: Important user logs on on Sep 1'st,

Re: Clean up the spool

Hi, Terry. Take a look at the SFPUGER utility; it should do exactly what you want. It's documented in Chapter 3 of the CMS Commands and Utilities book. You can either run SFPURGER manually whenever you think the spool area needs to be cleaned, or you can set it up to run at set times (once

Re: Clean up the spool

Also watch out for console spool files for servers that never shutdown. For example: q prt all EREP 0012 T CON 0235 001 NONE OPEN- 001F THDBUSCH 0010 Z CON 00325277 001 NONE OPEN- 0009 THDBUSCH has 325K console lines. As that is an open spool file, it can't be purged.
