Are you sure it isn't "DUP" rather than "ALTER"?

When NBspool creates a new spoolfile, it sets a pseudo-environment variable
called "NEW" to the new spoolfile number.

So you can do something like:

O> WHILE <somespoolfiles>
W> DUP !CURRENT;FORMS=
W> PURGE !CURRENT
W> COPY !NEW to <somewhere> (or ALTER !NEW;DEV=<wherever>;PRII=13, etc.)
W> END
