What SMF records?

Which SMF records have packed decimal without the sign nibble. I don't recall 
that the 14, 15, 17, 18, 26, 30 or 60 series have that weird format.

Neither me. I see in SMF fields like date (0cyydddF) and time (100th of second) 
for example in packed format.

But I'm wondering about SMF21TUS for example which is documented as packed, but 
layout of contents are not documented.

Topic drift:

What is the difference between SMF21BRN (unsigned binary) and SMF21BW (binary) 
in terms of format layout?

Well, forever, the TIME macro with the DEC option
has returned the time in packed-decimal-with-no-sign as:

HHMMSSTH in R0

Maybe some SMF records use that output.
