Not cute, true. A spooled file is not data. It's a picture of your
data.

But if you have a picture of the data you need, it's as good as the
data itself, or can be made to be as good as the data itself.


Then we agree, a spooled file is not data. It's a picture or
representation of the data. Yes, it can be made into the data.

That's all I was trying to say. If you NEED to use a spooled file to
extract data, that's fine. But not ideal if the real data still exists.
