Hi Vryali,

Try this way. Substitute tail -f $ARGV[1] with your TSM command and the script will write output to first parameter file in command line with date inserted at the beginning of each line.
Code:
$ cat script.pl
use warnings;
use strict;

open my $ofh, qq/>/, $ARGV[0] or die $!;
select $ofh;
$| = 1;
select \*STDOUT;

open my $fh, qq/-|/, qq/tail -f $ARGV[1]/ or die $!;

while ( <$fh> ) {
        chomp;
        my @t = (localtime)[2, 1, 0];
        printf $ofh qq/%02d:%02d:%02d %s\n/, @t, $_;
}
$ perl script.pl outfile infile

shcomp

shcomp(1)							   User Commands							 shcomp(1)

NAME

       shcomp - compile a ksh93 shell script

SYNOPSIS

       shcomp [-nv] [infile [outfile]]

       shcomp -D [infile [outfile]]

DESCRIPTION

       If  the	-D  option  is not specified, shcomp takes a shell script, infile, and creates a binary format file, outfile, that ksh93 reads and
       executes with the same effect as the original script.

       Aliases are processed as the script is read. Alias definitions whose value requires variable expansion will not work correctly.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -D	       Generate a list of strings that need to be placed in a message catalog for internationalization.
       --dictionary
		       With this option, all double quoted strings that are preceded by $ are printed, one literal  per  line.	A  literal  $"foo"
		       prints  "foo" in the output. These are the messages that need to be translated to locale specific versions for internation-
		       alization.

       -n	       Display warning messages for obsolete or non-conforming constructs.
       --noexec

       -v	       Display input from infile onto standard error as it reads it.
       --verbose

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       infile	  Specifies the name of the file that contains the shell script to be used as input.

		  If infile is omitted, the shell script is read from standard input.

       outfile	  Specifies the name of the output file.

		  If outfile is omitted, both modes write their results to standard output.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0     Successful completion.

       >0    An error occurred.

ATTRIBUTES

       is Volatile.
