REXX SMF

REXX SMF is the code you require to read and process SMF data with a REXX procedure.

You can email me if you have questions at alan@nichols.de

The source is here REXX SMF
This is a TSO transmit format dataset, to unpack it ftp it to OS/390 using binary transfer lrecl=80 recfm=fb and blksize=3120 (One track is enough).

Then use the TSO command RECEIVE INDATASET(mydata) where mydata is the name of the dataset your transfered to MVS via ftp.

Here is some JCL to start your run.

You should preallocate the PDS-E TCP0.CSTM.OUTPUT.SMF to be large as it contains all your decoded SMF data. Mine looks like this PO-E VB 32756 32760. Create a member called TELNETO in this PDS-E with nothing in it before your first run.

TCP0.CSTM.CONTROL(SMF118) contains the select statements for the SMF records you are interested in ie:


OUTDD(DUMPOUT,TYPE(118))   
INDD(DUMPIN,OPTIONS(DUMP))

TCP0.CSTM.CONTROL(S118TS) contains sort statements required to remove duplicates namely


SORT FIELDS=(5,166,CH,A)          
SUM FIELDS=NONE                   
INCLUDE COND=(5,5,CH,GT,C'99067')

I generate it with a simple rexx so that the date field is always correctly set.

/*REXX make the CONTROL STATEMENETS FOR THE SMF SORT */    
datej=DATE('J')  /*yyddd*/                                 
year=substr(datej,1,2)                                     
day=substr(datej,3,3)                                      
day=day-30                                                 
if day < 1 then do;day=day+366;year=year-1;end             
day=right(day,3,"0")
