Hello Chris,

There's a few ways you can accomplish this.

First, if you have MPEX (which HP3000 site doesn't have MPEX?), you can do
something like the following...

%!DELETESPOOLFILE
$STDLIST.group.acct+QUIZLIST.group.acct(SPOOL.CREDATE<TODAY-10)

This will delete all qualifying spoolfiles older that 10 days.

Alternatively, within MPE, you can perform something like the following...

:SPOOLF O@;SELEQ=[FILEDES="$STDLIST" AND DATE<01/27/99];SHOW;DELETE

Hope this helps.

Regards,

David

        I would like to delete spool files (including; quizlist and
$stdlist),
        before a certain date. However, not being that knowledgeable in the
use
        of MPE, I cannot find a way to achieve this. Can anybody help?

        Many thanks    Chris
