We use plexcalc for PSA pricing.  All our SMF data is by LPAR, so we combine 
up to the CPC level, and run PLEXCALC against each CPC's data (easier for me 
to build charts), so we did not see this anomaly.  Looking at the JCL, I see no 
way to assign CPCx to a particular serial number.  

I ran a new extract to a single output, and plexcalc did in fact put 
the "second" CPC "first", based on the order of the data.  I wonder if it does 
this based on MIPS or MSU ratings?  Our "second" CPU is "larger" than the 
first.  I reversed the order of the data, and plexcalc assigned "CPC1" to 
the "first" CPC's data.  Seems to suggest some form of arbitrary assignment.

Sounds like an enhancement request... better if the tool could query and 
report by the CPC names (I can see it in D M=CPU, but cannot find it in the 
type 70's that plexcalc uses) instead of the generic "CPCx".
