We have several GDDR/GDPS lpars that they did not want to spend any money on output collection products. My solutions was to write a REXX SDSF exec to spin thru SDSF output for SYSLOG, allocate a dataset and XD them all to it. The exec then runs an IDCAMS to LISTC the dataset level and deletes more than a desired number. So no-one has to cleanup.

There is no reason that some of those other shops I mentioned that had more "general" products (as opposed to some that specifically manage syslog or have components that do) couldn't have used those products to store syslog. And maybe more of those shops do today than they did over the past 20 years of history I was referring to. Some reasons they may not be doing so could be: 1) Old processes using external writers storing to a GDG worked fine and were never changed to use those output management products as they were added to the system. 2) KISS. Some of those products take special access, security etc. People already knew how to access the syslog GDGs. Easy to manage with GDG limits and / or HSM.
