SMF 80 support in MXG code is 8293 lines of SAS and creates 61 discrete SAS
datasets/tables.
ACF2 support in MXG code is 1395 lines of SAS and creates 12 discrete SAS
datasets/tables.
No, the records have nothing similar in field names nor record structure,
although clearly
there is overlap in some of the contents.
No, I can't share the DSECTS, since they claim the same legal protection
COPYRIGHT (C) 1988 COMPUTER ASSOCIATES INTL,INC.
the protects MXG Software from being accessed or shared without a license.
But I would think that if you contact CA's ACF2 Product Manager directly,
and have a legitimate non-competing use that would benefit THEIR CUSTOMERS
and CA, that they would provide you with the documentation that you need.

Subject: Re: What SMF record types and formats does ACF2 write?
Thanks all.
Don't see this information on Cheryl's site, but perhaps I am not looking in
the right place.
I have a CA support ID. The record layout specifics do not seem to be in the
ACF2 documentation. (If I'm wrong, can someone supply a specific manual
name?)
I have figured out that ACF2 may be configured as John indicates to use any
valid SMF record type number, with a default of 230. I'm prepared to be, as
John says, "parametric."
Let's try a new question that is not very proprietary:
Does anyone know if ACF2's SMF (Type 230 or whatever) records are more or
less the same as RACF Type 80 records? By "more or less the same" I mean are
the layouts apparently identical, perhaps with some small exceptions? Or is
it a completely different layout (with, of course, roughly comparable
information)?

Cheryl's website has this information, properly labeled.
The problem with all such numbers for non-IBM SMF records is that ISVs, very
properly, supply a default record number but permit it to be overridden when
its use would conflict with another, preexistent use of that number. The
only not very helpful thing that can be said about any such 'user' SMF
record number n is that n > 127 is certain.
