I use the SDSF API (Rexx) to IEBGENER directly from spool to a UNIX
file. No temp data set needed. But only from job output; untested for
SYSLOG. Does SDSF provide "PRINT OUTDD ddname"?

The OP may be thinking of "tail -f fllename", where the "-f" option
means to periodically (every few seconds) to extract ("stat()") the
size of the file and send any characters not previously sent (in
the fashion of SDSF "DOWN MAX &nn"). The OP may have wanted
such dynamic updating.
