Simply append an "A" to your DD names to signal you wish it converted to
ASCII.

One wonderful thing that the RACF people have been doing lately is the
ability to reformat their SMF data into XML format. This made me wonder.
Does anybody else think that this would be useful for most, if not all, of
the SMF data?
You are one sick puppy. :-)

That's not exactly "new and unknown" information around here! <grin>
As an extra, added bonus, the SMF to XML processor should optionally
compress the data (zip, gzip, or bzip2) in order to take up less space and
transmit faster to the far end. Taking a queue from the RACF SMF
post-processor, which is used is selected via the existence of a specific DD
name.
//XML DD outputs without compression
//XMLGZIP DD outputs with gzip compression
//XMLBZIP DD outputs with bzip2 compression
//XMLZIP DD outputs as a ZIP file.
For extra credit, how to specify that the data in the compressed file should
be converted from EBCDIC (CP-037?) to ASCII (ISO-8859-1 or maybe UTF-8?).
Using a PARM is so plebeian that it doesn't count!
