I needed the spool file name and so used the one at position 103. But that just (most often *) contains some weird combination of letters and numbers starting with Q and has no apparent connection with any of the other information recorded for the spool file.
This is not critical as I discovered that for my purposes the file name in position 83 works just fine, but I just wondered if anyone has any idea what the entry is about.
** I did notice that sometimes it appears to contain the User Data - and not the Q… stuff but I could never figure out under what circumstances it did that as one otherwise identical runs it produced different results.
