I’m doing some research involving historical SMF data.  It’s caused me to 
wonder how engineers use the &SYSNAME, &LPARNAME and &SMFID symbols.  From what 
I can see is that in most instances they are the same.  LPARNAME appears to me 
to have little value in that if may or may not have an affinity for a z/OS 
guest in terms of naming.

&SMFID and &SYSNAME seem to generally correlate.  I’m curious if there are use 
cases where these are different and what the purpose might be?   

Appreciate any insight  / best parties that people are using.
