To alter the attributes of a spool file, you may use either of these approaches:
Use the command ALTSPOOLFILE, which allows you to change the number of copies to <= 127.
Use command SPOOLF with the parameter ALTER, which allows you to change the number of copies to > 127.
The command ALTSPOOLFILE ...;DEFER changes a file's priority to 0 and leaves the file in the Ready state. The SPOOLF command with the ;DEFER parameter places the file in the deferred state but leaves the priority unchanged.
To change the priority of output spool file O2050 to 9, enter:
or
To save spool file O2050 in the HPSPOOL account after the last copy has printed, enter:
SPOOLF O2050;ALTER;SPSAVE

or
To change to a total number of copies greater than 127, use SPOOLF. For example, to change the number of copies of spool file O2050 to 130, enter:
SPOOLF O2050;ALTER;COPIES=130
