Humor me here. I assume this is basic system programming, but I don't claim to 
be a sysprog.

We have a Dallas system. Something in our usage patterns or something has 
changed recently to where we end up with spool filled up with BPXAS jobs and we 
eventually run out of JQEs which is not a Good Thing.

Can someone tell me what BPXAS is, and more importantly, what to change in the 
proc so that the jobs will go away rather than hanging out in spool until I 
manually purge them.

When I do an ST I see a bunch of them running, and a whole bunch in Print, but 
I don't see them when I do a DA.

Here's a typical example:
