        Nope.  Once the SPOOL file is closed,  you can't change it.
The SFBLOK (SPOOL File Block) does reside in CP storage,  and you can
change the creation date and time (offsets '40'x and '48'x respectively)
but the SPLINKs (SPOOL Page Buffer Linkage Block) resides on disk.
Actually, if you had a minidisk that overlapped VM SPOOL space, then
you could change the data in the SPOOL file.  Both are tricky tasks.
This is not MS-DOS.
