Seems that since spooled files are actually stored in PFs in QSPL, that they would not be lost. OUTQs, to some degree, are just an interface to the content of those PFs, and deleting the OUTQ and recreating are not a particular problem, at least for IBM. ;-)

Just finished another V6R1 upgrade. The answer is no, you do not lose your spool files. Still got 45+ in one output queue going back to September. Special authority has been retained also.
