If you have a look in the CS IP Configuration Reference manual, you will see 
there are some appendices. If you look in Appendix C, you will see that it has 
the title "SMF type 119 records". I can tell from the command you used that 
you appear to be interested in the "TN3270E Telnet server SNA session 
termination record" - or, if you didn't know that before, you do now!

If you examine "Table 137. TN3270E Telnet server SNA session termination 
record self-defining section" (the highest level of the SMF record since it 
contains the SMF header), you will find starting at offset 60(x’3C’), the 
following 3 fields, "Offset to TN3270 server session time bucket performance 
data section", "Length of TN3270 server session time bucket performance data 
section" and "Number of TN3270 server session time bucket performance data 
sections".

If you look at "Table 141. TN3270E Telnet server time bucket performance 
section" I believe you will have found exactly that for which you are looking.

I hope you understand how these "buckets" work. If not please post again. It 
looks like something plagiarised from the SNA response time measurement 
(RTM) function which emerged all of 25 years ago in places such as the 3174 
and NetView Session Monitor, then called Network Logical Data Manager and 
which I used to teach in some detail. It's good to see TN3270 catching up 
with SNA 3270 - even if all of a quarter century later!

I even now recall in the mid-80's having students create beautiful 
presentations of response time ranges in GDDM graphs from the SMF record 
analysis of RTM data by the SMF-processing product which IBM offered in 
those days by the name of SLR - sadly I needed Google to help me recall what 
SLR meant: "Service Level Reporter". Unless SLR still exists, you will need to 
find today's equivalent product in order to process the SMF 119 records - and 
maybe today's equivalent of GDDM in order to present the analysis! I hope 
others can offer recommendations - or, since the topic of SMF analysis comes 
up in the list from time to time, check the archives.

Incidentally I found this in the CS IP Configuration Guide:

<quote>

An external mapping (EZASMF77 macro) is available for customers to parse 
the SMF type 119 records that TCP/IP generates.

Scanning online versions of the manuals with the right search words can be a 
rewarding experience.
