SMF 17 is only for non-VSAM deletes. (But, if you are looking for a non-VSAM delete, always also look at SMF 18, RENAMEs - I've seen them Rename the dataset and THEN delete it.)
SMF 62 are VSAM Open Records. SMF 64 are VSAM Close/EOV records. SMF 61, 65, 66 are ICF Catalog Records, and (I think) will identify Alias Deletes. VSAM Catalogs have been long-gone, but when they existed the created the other 6x records, 63, 67, and 69.

I was going to use DAF but I was not sure if it could tell me this information. I was then going to go after only the SMF 17 records but was not sure if that would include the alias entry. What is my best option?
