It appears to be a log of some kind. Note that is shows today's date.
Contents include some of our sysprog userids. If this file has any
persistent usefulness, a TFS might not be satisfactory.
This shouldn't be persistent.
It is synonym for MVS DD DUMMY. Or NUL in PC DOS. NLA0 in VMS. Bit bucket.
TFS is the best place for such file.
BTW: it *should* be c - character special file, with 777 permissions.
