Re: Grabbing wrong spool file

Hello Jim,

I think you are wrong. CPYSPLF supports a JOB keyword which defaults to * for 
current job therefore *LAST should mean:

        The last spooled file with the specified name in the current job 
unless a different job name is specified. 

I have never seen the behaviour Rob describes therefore I suspect it is a 
defect and APARable.

NOTE: 
It is SPOOLED file (as in a file which has been spooled) not SPOOL file. I 
wish you people (and the various trade rags) would get that correct.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
