AFAIK, third party software which are reading JES2 SPOOL are usually supplied 
with assembler steps to pickup the JES2 spool macro layout from whatever 
MODGEN or MACLIB you choose to use.

For example with EPS, VPS, TSPRINT and JES328X (Basically SPOOL readers) 
we have to reassemble the modules which are reading the JES2 SPOOL during 
each JES2 upgrade. 

The same goes for third party TP software which are also reading SPOOL data.

Do your software has something similiar?

If not, you can ask support from the vendor in this case. You may/can/should 
use my argument as a subtle weapon to lower pricing for a new release... ;-D

HTH!
