One other option. In SDSF is the FILTER function on the top menu. If you have specific messages or jobs or other you want rather than all lines in a particular time frame, you can use that to cut down on the amount of data.
All is detailed in the TOC for SDSF. I find that when I am in a specific function in SDSF, if I enter an INVALID command, then use the HELP Key (PF1) I will be presented with the functions available for that panel. That way I do not need to know what they are and easier to find the details.
