About the only "new" files created this way are people who still do techniques like the following:
CRTPF FILE(ROB/SPOOL) RCDLEN(150)
CPYSPLF FILE(QSYSPRT) TOFILE(ROB/SPOOL) ...
This is done normally for just a few reasons.
1: Not willing to find an sql service or api to replace doing a system command to a spool file which does not have an output file option.
2: Not willing to change to generating PDF's instead of spool files
3: Requested by IBM to send in printouts and not willing to use iACS to download spool files to text files.
