From what I can read in the license, I can use it on my PC. Kirk Wolf from Dovetailed Technologies, which wrote the actual code for IBM, said that it was so licensed. It has an application which can generate JAVA code which creates accessor functions for fields contained in a byte[] array. It does this by reading ADATA from HLASM or COBOL. And I can read the SMF data that I want using the RDWInputRecordStream into such a byte[] array. I compiled an example program which expands the SMF type 30 records and generated the Java code using that. I'm currently working on that code in the NetBeans IDE. Sor far, so good. The code compiles. But I need to get some SMF type 30 records to test with. And I'm not going to try to download any to my home machine because we have people who monitor bandwidth usage. I don't want to get yelled at. -- John McKown (from home) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
