Joni There is a list more specialised in matters relating to the IP component of z/OS Communications Server. This is the IBMTCP-L list. You can subscribe as follows:

This, of course, shows only a snapshot but might be sufficient for you if it corresponds to a time when all your "servers" are active. You could probably construct a REXX clist which parses the output and produces the report you really want. Note that you should consider how you should report those port numbers associated with an all zeros IP address, INADDR_ANY, and those qualified by a specific IP address. If you are really keen, you could invest in setting up SNMP, manager (client) and agent (server), in order to extract the same information from the MIB you will find defined in Appendix B of the z/OS Communications Server IP System Administrators Commands manual. Check the tables in the IbmMvsTcp and IbmMvsUdp parts of the MIB. I think you'll find traffic counts - and lots more! - there.
