Error writing to SPOOL from CICS using internal reader

Writing to CICS SPOOL using CICS API commands SPOOLOPEN, SPOOLCLOSE, SPOOLWRITE generates RC=0010026 error.
For example, in the CICS user program listed below,  issues a SPOOLOPEN OUTPUT command with explicit nodename with NODE option and USERID as 'INTRDR' identifying the internal reader  to tell JES what to do with the SPOOL file when it is complete. 
      

EXEC CICS SPOOLOPEN OUTPUT                                      
                    NODE ('LCPI')                                            
                    USERID ('INTRDR')
                    NOCC
                    RESP(RESP) RESP2(RESP2)                              
                    PRINT                                   
                    TOKEN(TOKEN)                                          
END-EXEC.       

The above command generates the RC=0010026 error.

NODE(‘INTRDR’) should be used to invoke the internal reader function of the spool API.
