We have some remote non technical users use the CL command WRKWTR and op 7 to restart printers. Inside that option the user can select F16=Remove all except unanswered. Sometimes they do this and it makes problem resolution somewhat difficult. Any advice on restricting the F16 option or any other approach is welcome.
It's a silly question, but I'll ask it anyway - have you tried changing the authorities on the meesage queue so that *public cannot remove messages and then authorise specific users/classes of users to have the ability to remove messages?
Just a thought

Jonathan is right. If you don't want users removing messages from a message queue, then remove the authority to remove messages. Simple, clean and there are no sneaky ways around it.
