Netstat command output

Use the following options to specify where and in which format output is written. If an output option is not specified, by default the output is displayed on the user's terminal.

FORMat/-M

Display a Netstat report in a given format.

SHORT

Display a Netstat report in short format. The short format is the format that supports only IPv4 IP addresses. This option is valid only if the stack is not IPv6 enabled.

LONG

Display a Netstat report in long format. The long format can accommodate both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses.

If . . .	Then . . .
The stack is IPv6 enabled	The default format for the Netstat report is the long format.
The stack is IPv6 enabled and the FORMAT/-M SHORT is specified from the command	The error message EZZ2383I is issued and command processing is stopped.
The stack is not IPv6 enabled and the FORMAT/-M option is not specified from the Netstat command line nor in the IPCONFIG profile statement	The default format for Netstat report is the short format.

REPort (TSO NETSTAT only)

Causes the output to be stored in an MVS™ data set. If there is no additional parameter specified, the output is stored in a data set named tsoprefix.NETSTAT.option. If NOPREFIX is set in the TSO user profile, then the data set name is NETSTAT.option. The data set is created and cataloged if it does not already exist. If the data set already exists, the output from the requested option replaces any existing data. The name of the data set depends on whether either of the following additional parameters were specified:

DSN dsnname

Specifies the data set name in which the output is stored. The dsnname can be either a fully qualified name surrounded by single quotation marks (for example, 'abc.xyz') or an unqualified name (for example, abc). If an unqualified name is specified, then the unqualified name is prefixed with the TSO prefix value.

HLQ hlqname

Specifies the high-level qualifier for the data set in which the output is stored. The resulting data set name is hlqname.NETSTAT.option.

The following shows the relationship between the parameters and the stored data set name:

Use the REPort option to store the information returned by NETSTAT in a file used for later reference. For example, to store the output of the NETSTAT COnn report in a file, issue the following command: netstat conn report

After you issue the preceding command, a data set named tsoprefix.NETSTAT.CONN is created, which contains output similar to the following information:

STAck (TSO NETSTAT only)

Causes the report, stripped of title lines, to be placed in the TSO data stack when NETSTAT is issued from a CLIST or a REXX EXEC. No information is displayed at the user's terminal.

TITLes

Causes the report, including title lines, to be placed in the TSO data stack when NETSTAT is issued from a CLIST or a REXX EXEC.
