Subject: RMF SMF "broken" records

To All,
    For SMF types 70-79 (RMF), RMF may create broken records because the volume 
of data can't fit in 32K.
    So there may be 2 or more "broken" records created.
    I have an IBM sample file that has the original unbroken record split into 
3 broken records.
    The records are consecutive in the sample file.
    But I am getting the records in my SMF exit and I must save the broken 
records to put them together at a later time.
    There doesn't seem to be a unique identifier in the product section 
connecting the 3 records.
    I will use the SMF type/subtype/date/time in the SMF header for now.
    But the time in 100ths of seconds doesn't seem granular enough to me.
    Can someone help me here ?
Thanks in advance, Pierre.
