Add timestamp offset for ZMATC data

PJ46868 added a timestamp offset for ZRTMC data delivered from TPF to linux. This RFE requests the same functionality for the ZMATC data. This would allow for consistent data timestamps for any TPF system that has a non-UTC system time in RTMC and...

(TPFUG/Visa) Provide a ZBOST STOP ISTREAM option that collapses all boosted i-streams

ZBOST STOP ISTREAM says it stops I-Stream Boost but it just immediately collapses the highest boosted i-stream number and sets the timer for the next to collapse in 1 minute. We need an option that will collapse all boosted i/streams to the CAP va...

Make the TSTB size configurable

We would like to have the option to set the number of tape status table (TSTB) slots to a different value at SIP time. Failing that, we would like to see a larger hardcoded TSTB size. The number of TSTB slots is defined in SIP macro sptabs.mac:&am...
