QUESTION: sorry, YES

Answer
The CPYSPLF command tries to locate a spooled file with the name you specify, associated with the job you request (* means your current job, not a different session with the same user ID) and copy it to a database file that you specify (this file must exist before you run the command). If the system tells you it cannot find the file, it either means that 1) It can't find the spooled file you requested or 2) The spooled file wasn't created by the job you specified or 3) It cannot find the TOFILE to copy the data to.
