​I have something similar. The main difference is that mine can put the
data into a set of UNIX files in a subdirectory, or to a set of sequential
data sets which a common prefix. The code is freely available here:

z/OS REXX program which uses the SDSF / REXX interface to copy all held
sysout from the JES SPOOL to individual disk data sets or z/OS UNIX files.
The logic does not copy output which is already on disk, as determined by
the DSN of file already existing.
