-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of McKown, John Sent: Monday, June 16, 2008 7:51 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: replacing SAS for SMF reports? Well, it looks like SAS is pricing itself out of our range. Or management is just doesn't think that we are getting our moneys worth or ... Anyway, other than using HLASM or maybe <shudder> COBOL, anybody have any suggestions how to easily do some "ad hoc" type SMF reporting? What would be really nice would be some sort of SMF to XML output program. I really like the IRRADU00 output (RACF SMF data translated to XML). I download that to my PC and run Java against it. If necessary, I could even develop and test the Java code on my PC and run the application on the mainframe once it is working. (or use Co:Z to ship the XML to my Linux system and run the code there with the response going back to the mainframe). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
