The spool design on the AS/400 does not allow for the restore of 
attributes.  Spooled files DO NOT live in output queues (despite what you 
might think).  Jobs own spooled files, and those jobs point to members in 
the QSPL library.

When you "save" the spooled files, you save the spooled file data.  When 
you "restore" those spooled files, the system does not know the owner, or 
job information, etc. of that data, and it CANNOT be replicated.
