You can't set an expiration date for a spool file. Once it has been
placed on an *OUTQ it will remain there until it is deleted.
You could write a program that utilizes the QUSLSPL API to gather up
information about specific spool files and then within your program, delete
any that are older than seven days.
I personally use BRMS/400 to archive spool files to tape and then remove
them from the system. The BRMS/400 archive policies allow me to define which
files are archived based on several different criteria, including the age of
the spool file. The advantage here is that I can recover a spool file if the
user decides they need it again.
There are also several third-party software packages that provide commands for
working with spool files.
With a little research you should be able to come up with the perfect
solution for your needs. ==================================
