Well, the key here is 'operator command' in the error message.  The
SUSPEND operation of the SPOOLER command (or the old SUSPENDSPOOLFILE
command) requires OP capability.  So, I would guess that MANAGER.SYS on
your machine doesn't have OP capability.
 
Should it?  There arguments on both sides of the fence.  In the
Performing System Manager Manual (or something like that) it will tell
you that the System Manager and System Operator should have OP.
However, I have seen in larger shops that the System Manager was not
allowed OP (They also didn't like GOD from VESOFT being on the system
either :).  Anyway, since you use GOD (meaning it is therefore
available and you should have access to OP), you could alter the user
MANAGER.SYS to have OP and it should work.
 
***Now the big caveat:  I thought there was a manual somewhere that
would tell you what capabilities were needed to execute which commands.
However, I couldn't find it.  So my memory could be failing me.  It
could be related to something as a console command, but this is how I
remember it.
