Unfortunately, you haven't been very clear about why you are writing. *What is the purpose of the IBM-MAIN mailing-list/newsgroup?* It is used for information sharing by users of IBM Mainframe computers. Although open to all users of IBM mainframes, the majority of posters are MVS (OS/390) systems programmers.
There might be some listers that know something about zTPF.
