What Jim said :-).  ;DELETE is one of the three main SPOOLF choices (the
others being ;ALTER (implied, if you don't specify any) and ;PRINT).  You
would simply enter:
   SPOOLF O@;DELETE;SELEQ=[<your criteria>]

Please note that you would be governed by the spool file access rights of
the user invoking SPOOLF -- that is, an SM user or console session would
have access to all spool files on the system, an AM user only to spool
files of users in his/her account, and all other users only to their own
spool files.  The SELEQ would be applied only to the files to which you
have access; you would not be able to delete any other files even if they
meet your SELEQ criteria.

Hope that helps.
