You might want to switch to using the SMFDUMP program. It dumps all the SMF datasets automagically evertime it runs. I also have an MPF exit which traps the "ALL DATASETS FULL" message and automatically starts the SMFDUMP procedure.
I've got a copy which works up to 1.7. I'm sure others do too. On Thu, 28 Sep 2006 12:01:45 -0500, Pommier, Rex R. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Howard, this goes back to my initial reply.
