Instead of the usual, BTDT, allow m to just say, OMWT, "On My Way There".
Last year I started writing "copybooks" of all SMF records so I can include them in my various SMF/DFSort reports using symbol names rather than the usual offsets, etc... I even use DFSort for daily SMF processing including splitting off DB2, CICS, etc.. and it even supports a 7-day SPIN file. Works great. I have not received permission to drop the SMFUTIL process yet, but that's coming. Unless something came out within the past month or so, there are still some, to me, shortcoming with the new capabilities of DFSort; mainly in its symbol processing area.
