I agree - I always find those "D2C" "C2X" calls as confusing as COND in JCL 0 and I *hate* control block chasing in REXX. If I had the spare time, I would do something like : (1) Create a REXX external function thats calls ERBSMFI (for example : x = REXXSMFI(arg1,arg2..)) (2) Use arg1 and arg2 to pass parameters to ERBSMFI to nominate the call type (ASD, DEV etc) (3) Return the SMF-79 fields back as stem variables using their field name from the DSECT (eg : REXXSMFI.R792JBN.i) (4) Pass back the system CPU and paging rates as reserved variables. A bit of initial effort to setup - but maybe worth it in the long term.

I reckon it'd be faster for me to write the assembler than try and work out all the (REXX) conversion calls needed. So much so, that I've never even thought of using REXX for SMFI. Mmmmm - now on the other hand, perl is maybe an option. Is there a CPAN equivalent for REXX (for big iron I mean, not OS/2) ???. This sort of thing could be exposed as a (native) "module". Then we'd be starting to get somewhere. Dream on ...
