Probably okay, but there are a few benefits to doing this (at least in our odd installation). During a spool redefinition you can increase spool volume sizes or muck with track group sizes and other things. It's hard for me to do otherwise, 'cause if I drain a spool volume, it will *never* become completely empty (there are users who treat the spool as permanent data storage, and by "permanent" I mean I have some sysout that was created SIX YEARS AGO.) Politics. Bah. If you require a spool offload-and-reload, and those old sysouts long ago exhausted their offload opportunities (they can only be exported once per offloader) then... oh-well.
