James,

There could also be a program monitoring the output queue (tied into it with a data queue). A hold on the spool file (or any spool file) might be ignored by that process. Maybe using your own output queue is appropriate.

That's exactly the situation: it's an external call from a script that's
being run in a trigger program that is in turn tripped by an application
that may be trying to do some sort of print-to-email itself. (And for
all I know, there could be another job monitoring the job we're running
in, doing the application-initiated print-to-email!)

If we're getting into a fight, let's try to avoid the fight in the first
place.
