filecode              The filecode parameter specifies a particular kind
                      of file.  This code is recorded in the file label
                      and is available to processes accessing the file
                      through the FFILEINFO or FGETINFO intrinsics.
                      Although you can specify a positive integer ranging
                      from 0 to 32767 or a mnemonic name for filecode,
                      certain reserved integers and mnemonics have
                      particular system-defined meanings.  The native
                      mode spooler file codes are the following:

SPOOL                 SPOOL specifies an output spool file that is not
                      linked to the spool file directory (SPFDIR) and,
                      therefore, is not printed automatically.  No
                      spooling attributes are initialized.

                      If the output spool file is ever linked to the
                      SPFDIR by using the SPOOLF...;PRINT command, all
                      attributes are set at that time according to the
                      rules of the command.  Spool Files cannot be
                      temporary files.  If you specify the ;SPOOL
                      keyword, a file code of 1516 (output spool file) is
                      forced.
