I wonder if a z/OS port of the following language would be of

But then again, probably not, because it does not have the ability to
read SMF data built in to it. And it doesn't run on z/OS. It does run
on both Linux and Windows. But, unlike SAS on Linux/Windows, it cannot
direct read z/OS data via ftp, as best as I can see.
But in the off chance somebody is interested:

A very quick read suggests "R" is extendible via packages that can be
implemented in other languages (C, C++,...). I guess an interesting
question would be whether R provides in some form enough of the
features that are in SAS that it would be practical for Barry to port a
version of MXG to "R" so that it could process SMF records under Linux
and R.
