Issue/Introduction

We need to purge all files that have a particular destination.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : Spool

Resolution

The command to purge all files with a particular destination (in this example DEST=INTRDR) is:

/PFALL,D=INTRDR

The above example is to issue the command inside the Spool menu. This command can also be issued as a z/OS modify command against the Spool started task:

F CASPOOL,PFALL,D=INTRDR
