What can I do with this system value?
This value allows automatic removal of empty spool database members. If this option is not selected (*NOMAX), spooled database members are automatically removed. Select this option if you want a maximum retention level. Then, specify the retention period in days.
You have the following options when specifying the retention periods:
- 0 (*NONE)
- All empty members are deleted. The value results in additional system overhead when creating spooled files. Serious degradation of system performance can result.
- 1-366 (1-366)
- Specify the number of days that empty spool database members are kept for new spooled file use. If the members are still empty after the specified number of days, they are deleted by the system.
