Ed, Agreed, and that is why SMF records are your second best friend :)
IDMS are marked as PS because they switch from BDAM to EXCP around 13 years ago (Version 12, or maybe already in V10). I use to use DFSORT to split up heavily accessed tables! You can also use the 14/15 records to check the access method. If you find a suspect access method then you can tie the 14/15 record to the type 30 subtype 4 record and get the program name. Sure you won't catch everything, but you should find damn near almost everything.
