I think this is directed at me since I recognise the original quote. The 
manuals 
are written by technical writers with varying levels of competence. Some of 
them 
also make the same stupid mistake. The final arbiter should be the OS/400 
commands which show:

 CMDSPLF                     Spooled File Commands                              
                                                                                
 Select one of the following:                                                   
                                                                                
   Commands                                                                     
      1. Change Spooled File Attributes                              CHGSPLFA   
      2. Copy Spooled File                                           CPYSPLF    
      3. Delete Spooled File                                         DLTSPLF    
      4. Display Spooled File                                        DSPSPLF    
      5. Hold Spooled File                                           HLDSPLF    
      6. Release Spooled File                                        RLSSPLF    
      7. Send Network Spooled File                                   SNDNETSPLF 
      8. Send TCP/IP Spooled File                                    SNDTCPSPLF 
      9. Work with Printing Status                                   WRKPRTSTS  
     10. Work with Spooled Files                                     WRKSPLF    
     11. Work with Spooled File Attr                                 WRKSPLFA   
     

Now that you are aware of the correct wording please see that your particular 
'trade rag' gets it right in future.

Simon Coulter.
