I raised an MR to IBM requesting that RMF should recognise DELAYS due to 
PDSE, currently being reported as "UNKNOWN".

I find the response short on understanding, and only applicable to active 
problem support....and not applicable to post-event problem diagnosis as the 
PDSE analysis command is real-time only.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This MR has been rejected with the following reason given: 

No programming interface provides the necessary data for RMF to identify SMS 
PDSE contention related delay. There is no way of implementing the requested 
function with reasonable effort. 

However, upon high Unknown Delay % and assumed PDSE contention, the 
PDSE ANALYSIS command (VARYSMS,[PDSE|PDSE1],ANALYSIS) can be used 
to examine the situation. The command is described in the IBM 
documentation "z/OS V1R10.0 DFSMSdfp Diagnosis" (GY27-7618-10).

What to do but sigh!
