Thanks. I will look around, reread your kind comments and check up my SMFDUMP 
programs.

This is what one of my z/OS guys and gals asked me. I will look into this.

No.

I have looked around. No one outside the plex is accessing those DASD. I'm 
considering moving my SMF datasets (all of them) somewhere else, so they're 
residing somewhere not busy and NOT being duplicated to a remote site.

Good to see what you also do. Each LPAR gets a turn to do the switch after 
midnight. During the 24 hours as soon as a *IEE391A appears that SMF dataset is 
dumped immediately, we don't wait for the last one or buffers being filled up. 

I will see if I can have our automation issue 'I SMF' themselve instead of 
SMDUMP and then have IFASMFDP read those SMF datasets in. 

Anyway to all: 
Many thanks for all your kind comments, I value all of them. For now I have 
staggered these jobs, so they won't run simultaneausly. I will investigate all 
comments and see what I can do.

Again thanks! This discussions was really fruitful, I'm proud of all of you who 
commented. :-)
