SYS1 has a remote output queue A01 set up with SYS2 as the remote system. SYS2's output queue is B01. How would the operator move an existing spooled file on SYS1 to SYS2?
- A.
  
  Use SNDTCPSPLF to send the spooled file to QSYSOPR on SYS2.
- B.
  
  Change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue B01.
- C.
  
  Change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue A01.
- D.
  
  Use SNDNETSPLF to send the spooled file to output queue A01 on SYS2.
Correct Answer
C. Change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue A01.

Explanation
To move an existing spooled file on SYS1 to SYS2, the operator would need to change the spooled file's attributes to specify output queue A01. This would ensure that the spooled file is directed to the correct output queue on SYS2. Using SNDTCPSPLF to send the spooled file to QSYSOPR on SYS2 is incorrect as it would send the file to the system operator's output queue, not the specified output queue. Similarly, using SNDNETSPLF to send the spooled file to output queue A01 on SYS2 is also incorrect as it would not change the spooled file's attributes.
