The requirement to keep and archive SYSOUT can be done as follows............
//SYSOUT DD DSN=YOUR.SYSPRINT.GDG.DATASET(+1),DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),etc,etc The additional requirement to view while the STC is up and running..... ......sorry but retirement has impacted by memory of gadgetry but there's a simple method to write SYSOUT to 2 DD cards, the 2nd of which will be SDSF viewable.
