. . . 

Yes, that's the method I've always used.  Or, TSO ALLOC FI(IPCSPRNT) 
SYSOUT(class) . . where "class" is a held sysout class.

Then while in IPCS for example,
  GTF CCW PRINT NOTERMINAL
  IPCS CLOSE PRINT

Then, go into SDSF (or IOF) spin the held sysout to a dataset.

In either case, IPCSPRNT to dataset or sysout, then use AMATERSE to terse the 
output then send to vendor.
