DELETE-SPOOLING-FILE

@DELETE-SPOOLING-FILE <peripheral file name>, <file name>

A file is removed from the spooling queue of a spooling device. If it is a spooling file, its pages are released and returned to the pool of free spooling pages.

<peripheral file name>

the spooling device.

<file name>

the spooling queue file to be deleted.

Rules:

1. Permitted only for user SYSTEM and the user who appended the file.
2. Only the first name matching <file name> is removed.
3. If the file is not a spooling file the command is equivalent to @REMOVE-FROM-SPOOLING-QUEUE.

Example:

@DELETE-SPOOLING-FILE L-P, L-P:;10

If the file L-P:;10 is in the spooling queue to L-P, it is deleted from the queue and if it is a spooling file, its pages are removed. In the latter case, the file will exist as an entry in the file system with no pages.
