The question makes me think of ye olde NJE networking with its ability to write to a remote console. Write to logs? I don't know, not knowing MVS well enough. Certainly in the VM world we were able to write to a file rather than to a terminal. DEC VMS when NJE attached could too. And of course there are true NJE implementations for UNIX.

This sounds more like writing to the terminal than writing to the logs per se. SMTP has a "SEND" directive. I have no idea if this is implemented in the MVS SMTP server. But there is UFT, which also has a "MSG" directive. Here too, MVS implementation lacks. (There is no UFT implementation for MVS that I know of.) Finally, there is MSP (Message Send Protocol), a simple and mostly clean specification for IP interactive messaging. Here again, UNIX and VM have implementations, but I do not know about MVS. Would be easy enough to code-up, given the simplicity of MSP. See RFC 1312.
