In a Rexx, you can use the TSO CONSOLE facility to issue an MVS command and trap the returned output in an array. The Rexx can then write the contents of that array to a data set.
Be aware that a few commands do not return output to the Rexx, but I believe that all DISPLAY commands do so. . .

Using IEFBR14 i managed to execute the command in batch, but the output is only written to SYSLOG. Is there a way to have the output also written to a dataset?
