Display last spool file for User actions

In PDM we have user actions that use DSP commands to get some information on a object, such as DSPFD, DSPFFD, etc. Some of these have equivalents in RD Power but others do not.
One way to support them all would be to add an option in a user action to display the last spool file. This way we could setup the DSPaction Output(*print) and RD Power would load the resulting spool file.


Use Case:

Define user action DSPFD &L/&N OUTPUT(*PRINT) with option to show the last spool file.

The command is run on the server, which generates the spool.

RD Power shows the spool file.

    Although not officially supported, this feature has been added to version 8.5.
    To have the last spool shown after a command, include the comment /**showsplf*/.

    Seems like a simple enough enhancement, and as described, is a useful implementation. Seems like a "Natural" fit to old and new technologies.
