I asked IBM for some help and received this response. The record is correct and working as designed. I was looking at an older SMF manual. The current manual states that for FICON, channel utilization cannot be calculated and the connect time is set to 1 millisecond per request.
Sorry to bother everyone.

When is DASD I/O time equal to Subchannel Start Count? Has any one looked closely at the SMF30 Subtype 4 I/O section? I am attempting to understand the current I/O problems on our system. I am focusing on SMF30 Subtype 4 records and the I/O Section. When looking at SMF30AIC and converting from 128 micro seconds to milliseconds by multipling by 128 and dividing by 1000, I get the same value, or nearly the same value as the SMF30AIS field. (Same for SMF30EIC and SMF30EIS.) Am I doing something wrong? or are the fields incorrectly calculated? Here is a dump of one record. x'190' D'400' is the start of the I/O field. SMF30AIC is 44971. SMF30AIS is 8c79. h(44971)*128/1000 is 8c78 which is almost 8c79 which occurs thoughout all my 30:4s. 0 06210000 DE1E0007 E4140112 001FE2E8 16 E2C1D1C5 E2F20004 000000B0 00260001 32 000000D6 00BA0001 00000190 004C0001 48 000001DC 00080001 000001E4 00A80001 64 00000000 00000000 0000028C 00E80001 80 00000374 00D30001 00000447 00180001 96 0000045F 001E000F 00000000 00000000 112 00000487 00280000 0000045F 00280000 128 00000000 00600000 00000000 00000000 144 004C0000 00000000 00000000 00500000 160 00000000 00000000 00140000 00000000 176 00040000 F0F5E2D4 C6404040 4040E2D7 192 F74BF14B F240E2E8 E2C14040 4040D3C4 208 C3F14040 4040D7C4 E6F5D9D9 C7D7C9C4 224 C3C1D4E2 4040E2E3 C5D7F0F5 40404040 240 40404040 4040D1D6 C2F0F8F6 F4F7000B 256 E6000000 00000006 FEEE0006 FF040006 272 FEEE0112 001F007D 67D00111 365F007D 288 67D20111 365FD7C5 D5E2C9D6 D540C1C4 304 D4C9D540 40404040 4040E2E8 E2F14040 320 4040E9C5 D2C5F0F0 F1D70000 00000000 336 00004040 40404040 4040D4E2 E3D9F5D9 352 C5D7E640 40404040 4040C8E8 287253CE 368 5281C8E8 2AA1C44D 0E840000 00000000 384 00000000 00000000 00000000 000001BD 400 00000000 000040ED 00000000 00000000 416 00000007 756A0000 00000000 00000000 432 00044971 003D419E 0000C831 00008C79 448 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 464 00000000 000040ED 00000000 00000000 Any help is appreciated.
