Jon, One shop I was at we dumped SYSLOG every night at midnight to a DASD GDG. Then every week we used JOBTRAC (job scheduling product) to pickup the weeks work of GDGs and wrote a weekly GDG to DASD. Then we used Jobtrac to pick up the Weeklies and make a monthly tape.
You can do something similar using SDSF Batch and a job scheduling product. It will not be pretty (Probably need a REXX or other program in the middle to determine the correct SYSLOG data set) but it can be done. If they just want 3 months worth of Syslog in a contigious group you can used the daily SYSLOG offload to a GDG that is mod'ed onto the end for 3 months. then create a new GDG.
