Record type 125 is the new extended SMF record that provide for the
double-byte record ID's.

z/OS 2.5 provides for new "extended" SMF record types >255. They have a
standard type (I forgot the number) for backward compatibility, AND an
extended type number (4 digits).

Subject: Re: SMF Record types to capture
The standard header is still a one byte field, so 0:255 captures them all.
At each dump/off-load, I segmented our SMF records by
category/interest-group and anticipated retention period to reduce the
processing resources and time by not having to process record types that ere
superfluous. As an example:
* CICS 110.1.3 transaction detail and further segmented by region
grouping 9production, development, etc)
* CICS 110.1.1 dictionary records for preparation of processing the
tracnsaction detail 110.1.3 records
* CICs exception records
* CICS DOMAIN interval records
* DB2 101
* DB2 100/102
* RMF 70 and 72
* RMF device 74.1
* Security 80
* WLM 99
* Dataset 14/15/60-series
And a number of others, but this set should give you an idea of ho this
approach orked.
