My ignorance, but what do you mean by "WSF2/SPOOL log"?

When we execute/run a JCL in Mainframe, a log of the execution (success/abended) is stored.
this log can be viewed from WSF2 panel or SPOOL (SQL PROCESSING OPERATION ONLINE) it helps to
store the output of the program.

Check out Lionel B. Dyck. He has a great little tool, SDFSEXT, a generalized SDSF batch tool to extract all or part of your sysout into a dataset that you could do whatever you want with.
