Need a DISPLAY command for PROTECTED output and CANCEL of only PROTECTED output

I'd like to know how much PROTECTED output is on my SPOOL but there is no command to display it by that status. If I check BPXAS or ASCHINT status I see some PROT and some that are not. How much PROT do I have altogether? Can I cancel "only" PROT output by queue with $POJOBQ?

    JES2 in z/OS 3.1 added support for the PROTECTED attribute was added to the job list commands (PROTECTED=YES and PROTECTED=NO filters for the various commands). This includes $D, $P, $H, $A, $C, and $E job commands.
