You might try Trace Route. Then you might try TRACETCP. It is a
utility program that does a trace route using a specific port.

I have seen press stories where Full speed CPs see a lot of wait time
(waiting for data, interrupt, etc.), where slower CPs credit the
delays to the reduced capacity so they will see little to no wait

ESCON is synchronous, where after sending a buffer, it would wait for
acknowledgement before sending the next buffer.
FICON is async, where it sends buffer after buffer without waiting.
If it doesn't get an acknowledgement within a certain time frame it
would resend the lost buffer.

I would sort 1 tape at a time then merge them. Or split by the first
character of the key, sort each file, then concatenate by the first
character of the key.

Even if you have a z/OS 2.1 manual, some PTFs do add features or
command or document changes to older versions, and they only update
the newest manual. Sometimes it is best to get the newer manual then
check the document changes so you aren't referencing a feature only in
the newest release.

Can you control how far it scrolls?
First scroll you limit the CC or DD to the first / last line.
Subsequent scrolls from the CC or DD would hide (XX..XX) the other
lines and retain the CC or DD line on the screen?
A scroll toward the CC or DD would show (F9 or L9) the number of

If that dataset needs a large allocation, quiesce a/that volume,
migrate the select volume to move unallocated datasets on it, defrag
to create larger extents, then recall it. If no active volume has
enough space, it would go there.

With the 1709 update it is now called WIndows Server.
Windows Server 2019 is being developed.
