Thanks to Cathlene @ HP and to everyone who responded to my original 
posting. The issue is now closed.

As I have already discovered the task on spoolfiles cannot be done --


Cathlene@hp's response is now official --


there have been sr's to request temp build of the spoolfile but lab said NO.

BUILD of a TEMP SPOOL file does not function properly

Problem with TEMPORARY spoolfile




Fix Text

fix
Building of a spoolfile should be in the permanent domain, not the TEMP

spoolfiles were not designed to be TEMP.
