Step 6. Cleaning up processed jobs

The spool entry which was used for creating the new spool entry with overlays, will stay in the queue with status ready, unless we define an AFC function to handle it.

We have several possibilities. We could just hold it with function 6, but we could also choose to move it to another queue in order to save it. This queue could then be cleared every Friday, when we are sure no re-prints are needed.

Finally we could choose just to delete the job which we intend to do in sequence line 4:

We define that all spool entries with form type DEMO should be deleted, but only if the spool file attribute SAVE=*NO. If SAVE=*YES there might be a good reason for it, which means we should leave them alone.

We press Enter to save

We have not considered what to do with spool files with other form types than *STD or DEMO. They will therefore just stay in the queue with status *RDY.

Now one might wonder if the spool files with form type *STD also remains in the queue, but they are automatically deleted when the writer has printed them.
