(From version 6.2.68 of the Server software only.) The Work with Spooled Files Housekeeping [WRKSPLH] allows you to specify a list of Spooled File tasks that you wish to be performed to help tidy up your Spooled Files. Once you have created an entry and set it to Online it will be processed by the SPOOLTIDY job that runs in the Cobwebb Job Scheduler (unless you have removed this entry). See Activating the Spooled File Housekeeping for details.
For each entry you can specify an Action to perform and a Number of Days after which the spooled file will be selected for processing.
The Work with Spooled Files Housekeeping can be found from the Cobwebb Tools Menu - Option 1.
Type in your choices and then press Enter, this will take you to a second screen. Highlighted entries are those that are Online. Each Online entry will be run the next time the SPOOLTIDY job is scheduled to run.

Action after days
This option will allow you to specify how old a spool file needs to be before being included in the selection for processing. Say you want to move all invoices from the previous days output you would enter a 1 here and this would pick up any matching spool file of one day or older. Entering a 0 will not check the age of the spool file. If you leave the default of 999 then nothing will happen unless you have spool files more than 999 days old.
