I don't know the exact details of this, but this will probably work; this
all assumes you're using COBOL and the AFTER [ADVANCING] <lines> clause.

(In the old days, at least) the hardware, such as a 2566, wants to print,
then advance.  This works poorly from a programming standpoint; thus the
AFTER clause.  The COBOL compiler I believe, would see that you're using
post-print spacing, and would insert (after a "C" (%103) record which
overrides perf skipping) an "A" (%101) record which sets the pre-space
movement option.

In the old days when you LISTed a spoofle via SPOOK, you'd at least get to
SEE the C & A records; when you'd TEXT the file, the C & A records would get
stripped.  Nowadays I dunno ANY way to SEE the C & A records, and when you
grab the spoofle, they're not there.  So just put them back in, and your
CCTL will work as it did before, assuming you still have the CCTL option
attached to the file.

I'm sure 90% of that is technically marginal or just plain wrong, but the
fix works great; I got bought lots of beers for fixing critical spoofles
this way.

YMMV; good luck!
