Speaking of Vesoft, why not rename the spoolfiles (wildcard by date) into
other groups:

SPOOL15
SPOOL14
...
SPOOL01

So your job would follow something like this:
%purge @.spool15
%rename @.spool14,=.spool15
%rename @.spool13,=.spool14
...
%rename @.out.hpspool(spool.readydate >= yesterday),=.spool01

(You'll have to correct the syntax on the date selection, but you get the
idea...)

This will keep your OUT.HPSPOOL cleaner and you'd still be able to print older
spoolfiles if needed by using :SPOOLF O#####.SPOOL##;PRINT
