John - Thanks. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it worked a lot better than putting a P in front of everything in SDSF. I didn't want to purge everything, but I was able to purge large groups at a time, so it didn't take too long. I don't know why I didn't think of that myself.
I thought there was a command that you could give a jobname or STC name and purge multiple jobs or STCs. -- Eric Bielefeld Systems Programmer ---- "McKown wrote: > Since I rarely want the output from STCs, I just do a $PS1-999999 and be done > with it.
