Using Spooler Job Files

You can also use Peruse with spooler job files. A spooler job file is an unstructured

disk file with file code 129. This type of file contains a spooler job, including print data

records and formatting control information (CONTROLs, CONTROLBUFs, and

SETMODEs).

A spooler job file does not appear in the job display list unless you declare it as the

current job by using the JOB command with the file name. The following example
