OK, this probably will get a "big deal!" response. But I'm wondering who thought that defining these three fields as CL4 was a good idea? Why do I care? Because I am using JZOS's AssemblerRecordGenerator to read the DSECTs produced the the various IFASMFR invocations so that I can more easily write Java code to process SMF data. Well, actually, I did that over the Thanksgiving Day holiday. But I had to "fix" the generated Java code so that it would read these fields as integers and not character strings. No, not a major problem. But yet another irritation. Every other SMF DSECT that I could find uses either FL4 or BL4. I, personally, prefer FL4 as it generates "nicer" Java code. But BL4 seems to be more popular.
