Don -
I wouldn't advise this course of action - read this information at the IBM
Information Center:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/html/as400/v4r5/ic2924/index.htm?info/db2/rbal3mst173.htm

<Excerpt>
Displaying the data in the QSPL library may also prevent the data from being
cleared, wasting storage space. Any command or program used to look at a
database file in the QSPL library must allocate the database file and
member; if a writer tries to remove an allocated member after printing is
completed, it will not be able to clear the member. Because the member is
not cleared, it cannot be used for another inline data file or spooled file
and it will not be removed by setting the QRCLSPLSTG system value or running
the RCLSPLSTG command.
