David Alcock wrote a ISPF panel system that did all the netstat commands
and captured the output into ISPF browse displays.  Works very nice.

There is a list more specialised in matters relating to the IP component
of 
z/OS Communications Server. This is the IBMTCP-L list. You can subscribe
as 
follows:

One way to discover which ports are in use is to check the output of the

NETSTAT ALLCONN command. This, of course, shows only a snapshot but 
might be sufficient for you if it corresponds to a time when all your
"servers" 
are active.

You could probably construct a REXX clist which parses the output and 
produces the report you really want.

Note that you should consider how you should report those port numbers 
associated with an all zeros IP address, INADDR_ANY, and those qualified
by a 
specific IP address.

If you are really keen, you could invest in setting up SNMP, manager
(client) 
and agent (server), in order to extract the same information from the
MIB you 
will find defined in Appendix B of the z/OS Communications Server IP
System 
Administrator's Commands manual. Check the tables in the IbmMvsTcp and 
IbmMvsUdp parts of the MIB. I think you'll find traffic counts - and
lots more! -
 there.
