Time stamp with command needed for NETSTAT commands

We are asked from time to time to automate netstat commands to figure out issues, and internally we do this as well. To help with this we create rexx scripts to pull these displays out and put them in CSV formats. However there is no Time stamp in the display and all we have is the console time which is just the Time of day with no date. As we run our systems for multiple days its very hard to know when you are in the file . You also have to do a bit of guessing depending on the switch you give it as well.

So I would request a new EZD0XXX message be put in that would have the Command type, Date and Time the command was issued right after EZD0101 message goes out.
