how to delete multiple spool files 1

[GAORR]

A job creates multiple spool files with the same name ie. OE0800PR in a particular queue. I'm trying to use DLTSPFL to remove all occureneces from the queue. So far, I'm not having any luck. If there is only 1 in the queue, I can get it to work, but not with multiples. I've tried using *SELECT for SPOOLED FILE but keep getting - FILE(*SELECT) conflicts with other parameters. Tried all I can think of.
Any ideas?

You can override the print file when the spool file is created to put something special in the User Data field, and then

DLTSPLF FILE(*SELECT) SELECT(*ALL *ALL *ALL user_data)

Just a work of caution, it will delete all spoolfiles on the system with that user data, not just the ones in a specific outq.
