Purging a print que

Kenneth Rudgers — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 09:26:34 GMT

The customer I support has its SYS$PRINT que completely backed up with jobs they dont want... is there a way to purge the entire print que with out entering in each entry number? This is an alpha 2100 running 6.2.

Kenneth,

I've attached a dcl procedure that gives you several options for cleaning jobs out of a queue. I think it should work on the rather ancient version of VMS you are running.
