The FILENAMES, FILES, HELP, INFO, LISTLOCKS, LISTOPENS, RELOAD,
SHOW, STATUS, SUBVOLS, SUSPEND, and VOLS commands

As the destination file in a COPY or BUILDKEYRECORDS command
When you use a SPOOL DEFINE with a FUP command, output from the command is
spooled to the spooler location specified with the LOC attribute in the DEFINE. If this
location is a printer, FUP command output is queued and then printed. Otherwise, the
output remains in the spooler, where you can use PERUSE to view, redirect, or delete
it.
