Add F1MB statistics to ZDECB addr for specific ECB address

F1MB statistics are missing from the ZDECB display of an ECB address. These stats are available in ZDECB STATS. For example: >zdecb stats sort-f1mb DECB0014I 18.53.39 DISPLAY ECB SUMMARY ECB ADDR SSU IS PGM TRC MIN SC MILS F4K F1MB FIND FIL...

(TPFUG) Add OSA input list monitoring

To identify / understand the bursting nature of the OSA input list, we would like a mechanism to monitor the queue specifically at high TCPIP volume rates. Sending this information to CDC RTMC is a potential solution.

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...

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...
