Frank,

As an "old" hand at MVS, if a command uses the standard TSO output
interface (PUTLINE), then, when running IKJEFT01 in the background, then
the output is written to the SYSTSPRT DD statement.

Thus...
//RUN  EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSTSPRT DD whatever you want
//SYSTSIN  DD *
command1
command2
   :
//

The output of commands "command1, command2, ..." is in the file SYSTSPRT.

Hope this helps,
