Native Mode Spooler Reference Manual

Deleting a Spoolfile 

To delete a spool file, use one of these:

   *   the command SPOOLF with the parameter ;DELETE

   *   the command PURGE or the command DELETESPOOLFILE

If it can gain access to the file, the PURGE command purges nonprivate
output spool files.  The DELETESPOOLFILE and SPOOLF...;DELETE commands
purge private output files and nonprivate output files.  (In general, you
cannot copy, browse, open, store, or alter private files.  They are a
security mechanism and are discussed in chapter 2.)  PURGE and
DELETESPOOLFILE have not changed.

You may delete private input spool files using SPOOLF ...;DELETE or
DELETESPOOLFILE only if the input spool files are DATA files in the Ready
state.  Job input spool files can only be deleted with the ABORTJOB
command.

To delete output spool file O2050, enter:

     SPOOLF O2050; DELETE
