Hi DLLSSN,<br />
<br />
1- If you have a 3th party like Robot/Schedule, you could use AGEOUTQ command. This command will delete a spoule file after a decided number (45 days per example).<br />
<br />
2-Here is an old program that we were using a while ago. Maybe it could help you. In entry, you type username, outq and delete date... Just by changing a couple of lines and you could be in business... <br />

Hi DLLSSN,

is there a routine or command to clear output queue by date?

Clear outq by date

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
