Jon,
It's not a cure all for *NOLIST. If *NOLIST would not have gone to a
spool file then *NOLIST would not go to a "pending" job either. So I
imagine it shouldn't take up more than having the spool file would.
What it is a cure all for is people who do a WRKSPLF and get anal about
the spooled joblogs and delete them.

So I've got 90 disk arms and probably 36 of them are available. (I know
they're balanced and that's not really how it works.)
