Starting in z/OS 1.13 any JES2 sysout dataset can be "spun"

Add the keyword SPIN=(UNALLOC,xxx) on the sysout JCL.  

Where xxx is one of:

• ‘hh:mm’ – Spin data set at specified time
• ‘+hh:mm’ – Spin data set at interval specified
• nnn [K|M] – Spin every nnn records
• NOCMD – Cannot spin data set by command (current processing)
• CMDONLY – Spin only when a command is issued (default)

This is also supported in dynamic allocation and TSO ALLOC

For the cmdonly option you can issue the JES2 command:
$T JQ(xxx),SPIN,DDNAME=ddname – command can spin data set on demand
– If you omit DDNAME= all active spin data sets will be spun for that job
