There is another possibility to look at. There is the BPXWUNIX interface for REXX that might be useful. I don't have a system to test to see if the "tn3270,t,conn,max=*" command could be executed through BPXWUNIX.
This is an example of how I used it to work with the NETSTAT command. I was trying to capture idle time information for IP connections. I executed this from my TSO session but I don't see any reason that might stop it from say working in a batch job. ADDRESS USS CALL BPXWUNIX 'netstat -b IDLETIME',,REC.,STDE.
