Re: jobs table

I'd start with WRKOUTQ *ALL.

You can use this...
call systools/delete_old_spooled_files(delete_older_than => CURRENT DATE -
1 year , p_output_queue_name => '*ALL',p_user_name => '*ALL', preview =>
'YES');

to review old SPLF's.  "preview >= 'NO'" deletes them.
"Delete_old_spooled_files" is documented and very handy.
