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: https://gist.github.com/JohnArchieMckown/b27747d0c4750a258997 <quote> 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. <qoute> > > Advantages of UNIX files: > o More flexible namespace and hierarchial directories. > o Not constrained by unlike attributes. > > Disadvantages of UNIX files: > o Accommodation of binary data is cumbersome. > o Narrow-mindedness of legacy utilities.
