I use SYSOUTTRAP in Rexx all the time for ordinary commands. There is indeed a 
huge difference between Rexx and Clist vis a vis 'subcommand mode'. An example 
of subcommand mode is the SEND command under OPER. Another is LIST under 
ACCOUNT. TEST runs in practice almost entirely in subcommand mode. 

In a Clist, the exec retains control when running in subcommand mode. In Rexx, 
the exec loses control in subcommand mode, so successive commands must be 
'stacked' ahead of time via QUEUE. Trouble is that in TEST, subsequent command 
operands usually depend on the result of previous commands, which makes 
QUEUEing commands ahead of time nearly impossible. 

I don't recall ever trying SYSOUTTRAP in TEST.

I don't think the clist SYSOUTTRAP/SYSOUTTRAP Work to trap TEST output maybe 
Rexx OUTTRAP does didn't try that
