Another option for list and log is to allocate them to sysout. That means
that you need to have a different means to access them so I wrote something
and documented it here

Hope this helps - true it is different but it does work well once you get
used to it (about 30 seconds +/-)

Subject: Re: ISPF/PDF list/log file allocations

Exit ISPF normally and when it asks for Log/List options, select option 4
(Keep data set and allocate new data set).  You also have the option of
specifying the space via:
    * Lines per page . . . . 60
    * Primary pages  . . . . 10
    * Secondary pages  . . . 10
Note that the log is not blocked due to how ISPF writes to it:
Organization  . . . : PS
Record format . . . : VA
Record length . . . : 125
Block size  . . . . : 129
1st extent blocks . : 648
Secondary blocks  . : 582
I usually  make my own VBA copy of it when it gets too large.
