Here be dragons! The print data is certainly there, but restoring all or
bits of QSPL will not recreate any spooled files. Spooled files exist as
part of the job that created them, not as independent objects, which is the
whole basis of Kenneth's woe. This is the reason you cannot restore a
spooled file to its exact previous state - the job name and number belong
exclusively to the original job. You can get mighty close, however.
