Does anyone know how to get out of an out-of-spool condition?

    I am not a great sysprog.  I run my own system on IBM's Dallas Vendor systems, but not very well.  I had a job that did excessive spool use through WTO's that filled the system log.   Now I can't log on to do anything, and I don't know how to purge/recycle.  I know that I can send JES2 commands through the console that I have in the VM that is hosting my guest.   I just don't know JES commands that well and am slogging thru the docs.   I imagine that I am not the first person to have painted myself into this particular corner.

    Thanks,

    Hi Joe,

    The first thing I'd try is $POJQ,AGE>n where n is days. Try 7 to purge anything larger than a week.

    Second thing: I don't know if Dallas activates the JES2 emergency subsystem, but starting with 2.mumble there's a new emergency subsystem for this situation. You need to log on to TSO to that subsystem; I don't know if Dallas has USS set up to allow logging on to an alternate subsystem (if not, they should); I haven't checked our ADCD image lately.

    Cheers,
    Ray
