View command to limit/filter the Sysout Selection List screen to only showing LARGE sysouts

Issue/Introduction
I've been experiencing some space utilization issues in View and have had to "ADDDS" more database extents. I was thinking that we might have some very large reports residing on the DISK layer of the database, that have also been backed up to TAPE. My thought is that since the data can be recalled from the TAPE occurrence of these large sysouts, I would free up some space by deleting just the DISK occurrence of these large sysouts, using the online View DD command.
When viewing reports on the View Sysout Selection list screen, is there a command I can issue or a filter that I can use that will only show me LARGE sysouts?

Resolution
After collected reports are backed up to tape, you can use the DD command to DELETE large reports from the DISK layer of the database.
Large reports can be identified by FILTERING the Sysout Selection List based on the number of LINES for the report. For example:
- Access the sysout selection list screen and PF11/scroll to the right until you see the LINES column.
- Enter 10000+ in the LINES filter area of the screen.
- Only sysouts who's lines meet or exceed 10,000 lines will be displayed:

- Perform the DD function against the reports that have already been backed up to TAPE, but still remain on the DISK layer.
- If someone needs to see this data, it can be recalled from TAPE.
Additional Information
The following additional information is from the HELP screens in View...
1. Delete command available on the Sysout Selection List screen:
DD - Deletes space allocated to disk or secondary disk for a SYSOUT if the SYSOUT also resides on tape. The SYSOUT on tape will NOT be deleted.
2. FILTER the LINES column on the Sysout Selection List screen:
For numeric fields, six special filtering characters are provided in
addition to a number specification. The special filtering characters are:
* - indicates all numeric values.
+ - suffixes a number to indicate all values greater
than or equal to the number.
- - suffixes a number to indicate all values less than
or equal to the number.
: - separates two numbers to indicate a range of numbers.
K - specifies the number in thousands (1,000 times the number).
M - specifies the number in millions (1,000,000 times the number).
Examples for filtering a numeric field:
* - all values.
500 - only values equal to 500.
1000+ - values greater than or equal to 1000.
1M+ - values greater than or equal to 1,000,000.
3000- - values less than or equal to 3,000.
15K- - values less than or equal to 15,000.
20K:50K - values between 20,000 and 50,000.
