Thanks to all who replied.
 
I tried your suggestions (all except calling a priest) but nothing worked.
The RC indicated that the only way to delete it was using 'fscheck' and do
it while there were *no* other processes on the system (something about
'fscheck' causing more corruption if not executing 'stand alone').
 
Well it turned out that we needed to install some tape drives on the system
yesterday and thus I used the RCs recomendation, and indeed the spoolfile
'is no more' thanks to the 'purgefile' command of 'fscheck'.
 
Thanks again

P.S.  Is 'fscheck' as 'dangerous' as the RC says???
