Cross Posting to IBM Main and TCPIP --- The EZANS Tool has now been made a real tool (don't worry - it is still for free). You can go to the following web site to down-load the latest version, which supports z/OS releases from V1R4 through V1R12.
The official name of the tool now is: The IBM z/OS Communications Server Network Utility Assistant http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24029203 I have incorporated solutions for all known problems. I will continue to request that you send me a note if you discover things that do not work as they should, or if you have suggestions for improvements. Good luck with this new version.

Download Description The z/OS Communications Server NETSTAT command is a line-mode command that is available in TSO, the UNIX shell, and as a z/OS console command. In all environments, NETSTAT is invoked with a set of options that can be grouped in three ways: The NETSTAT report name NETSTAT in z/OS V1R12 supports 29 different reports. General and report-specific modifiers Most reports have report-specific modifiers that are used to modify the type of information the NETSTAT report returns. The highest number of report-specific modifiers is seven on the ROUTE report. Some of the modifiers can be used together, and others are mutually exclusive. Report filters Report filters are used to reduce the amount of data that is returned from NETSTAT. z/OS V1R12 provides 13 different types of filters. Each report that supports filters supports one or more of these filter types. Multiple filter types cannot be mixed on a single NETSTAT invocation, but most of the filter types support up to six filter values (of the same type). As the number of NETSTAT options has increased over the years, the use of the NETSTAT command as a line-mode command has become complicated. Users generally tend to remember a few reports and combinations of modifiers and filters and limit their use of NETSTAT to these few selected NETSTAT commands. This tool is a TSO/ISPF application that wraps around the z/OS Communications Server NETSTAT TSO command, providing a full-screen TSO-based interface to the NETSTAT command. It operates only in the TSO environment, not in NetView and not on the console. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
