Clark, It is especially not for the technically ignorant because the CKD EBCDIC data has been encapsulated into an FBA block. You would have to strip out the padding and CRC and read the text data as ASCII rather then EBCDIC.
And SPOOL is going to be splattered around in trackgroups, and in a 7D+P array group they will only have one eigth of the actual volume(s). Not an easy way to try and get some useful information. There would certainly be some bits and pieces that would be in the clear, but it would not be an easy task to figure out what they atually had got their hands on.
