Use RCLSPLSTG The Reclaim Spool Storage (RCLSPLSTG) command reclaims unused storage for spooled files that have not been used for more than the number of days specified by the user. Spooled files are stored with database file members on the system. When a spooled file is deleted, the member is emptied but not deleted. Therefore, the member can be reused for the next spool file created. Reusing empty members improves the performance time when creating new spooled files. The RCLSPLSTG command deletes unused and empty database members. This command uses synchronous processing. More information about synchronous processing is in the Backup and Recovery book, SC41-5304.

Reclaiming storage from spool files
Just to add to this, use RCLSPLSTG *NONE. The *NONE parameter will reclaim ALL available spool storage. Dave -

Reclaiming storage from spool files
We've recently deleted a large number of spool files and want to get the storage back that is now empty in the spool file physical files. Will RCLSTG take care of this or is there a separate command to compact the spool physical files? thanks, chuck Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.Comment

Reclaiming storage from spool files
If your system value QRCLSPLSTG is set to 7 days you can only reclaim spool storage for everything older than 7 days. This is what I would do if you want all the space you can get. Make sure the system value QRCLSPLSTG is set to *NONE. Then run RCLSPLSTG with value of *NONE. This will recover as much space as possible from spool storage. 1. WRKSYSVAL QRCLSPLSTG *NONE 2.
