DFSORT/ICETOOL has some formats for handling "special" SMF fields, but it doesn't have any built-in features for handling "triplets" or the complex record types SMF builds. It only handles "linear" records. You would have to be able to address the fields you want by their linear starting positions in order to use DFSORT/ICETOOL for that kind of processing. That said, FWIW, here's a couple of simple ICETOOL examples for SMF records from "z/OS DFSORT Application Programming Guide": http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA20/6.7.5.12?SHELF=&DT=20060615185603&CASE= http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICE1CA20/6.7.5.13?SHELF=&DT=20060615185603&CASE= I think Martin Packer might have done some "tinkering" with using DFSORT/ICETOOL for SMF reports, so maybe he has something to add on the subject.
