Not a bad idea going forward Steve.  I may just supersize my SMP Log files.   
They’ve been pitifully smally historically.   My SYSRES cloning process does 
build an entire matching SMPE environment including the LOGS(which I hadn’t 
thought about), so they would match what was applied.  I think I will send him 
the SMP logs….

Dave,



Two quick thoughts:



1. Might be good to post this on the RACF forum as my guess is it is a more 
"auditor" knowledgeable audience over there and possible ways to best handle...



2. Even though you don't have SMPLOG's as far back as he wants - I would still 
send him what you have.  Hopefully it goes back 3-6 months at least - not sure? 
 Just so you can demonstrate your normal maintenance process for which you can 
demonstrate that you / team are consistently following repeatable process as 
you are articulating to the auditor.



Interesting question though and good to know there are some mainframe literate 
ones out there!  Keeps us all on our toes!
