Another option is to have a specific sysout class (not set in any printer and that you have msgclass=x where x is the designated shout class) and have an external writer with a disp=mod for a dataset you want to put it to. Then say once a day (or what ever you choose) have a job runs that deletes it and reallocates it. Its clumsy but it should work.
