I think it would help to understand all of the conditions for this request.

  1) How many SYSOUTs are needing to be routed?
  2) Do they all go to the same place or different places?
  3) What is the impact to coding and maintaining a SYSTEM exit rather than 
just changing JCL
  4) Will there be requirements that need immediate attention (You know there 
always are)

The problem could get very tricky if the following might be a use case

A prod batch job - JOBA - runs daily

It has 20 steps and produces 10 SYSOUT datasets (Residing on Spool)

  Now the user want SYSOUT from STEP1 to get routed to DEST1/DEST3/DEST5
  In step 3 he/she wants SYSOUT to go to DEST3/DEST5
  In Step 8 he/she wants SYSOUT to got to DEST1/DEST7
  In Step 10 he/she wants SYSOUT To go (and so on)

Now the SYSTEM Programmer needs to understand all the various routings, which 
ones, how often and hope no new requirements show up down the road

I think the changing of the JCL is much more favorable than to buying
  1) A product that can maintain the exit easier
  2) Ensure there is always a very advanced Assembler Programmer on Staff or 
hire a contractor as needed
  3) A repository/Content Manage Software - where this type of activity is 
normal 
  4) What happens when additional routing requests are suddenly required TODAY

It might be helpful if you could get full specs from the user.  Talk it over 
with your manager.  And see how much time and effort it would take on your side 
to do this "Simple little routing"
