Closing the loop, I have now gotten a reply on the ACF2 list from CA
support. (Thanks Ross!)

FWIW, here is my model of how this all works.

SMFPRMxx is a "suggestion" to SMF-record-writing components. SMF itself does
not filter based on SMFPRMxx. You can code SYS(NOTYPE(199)) and I can still
write a program that uses SMF(E)WTM to write type 199 records and they will
end up in your SMF datasets and/or logstream (subject to any IEFU8x exit).
What a well-behaved program *should* do, apparently (although this does not
seem to be well-documented) and apparently what ACF2 and every IBM product
do is query SMFRTEST to determine whether the shop wants its record type,
and adjust its logic accordingly.

Subject: Need to include ACF2 SMF 230 in SMFPRMxx?

I asked this question on the ACF2 list. The only answer I got was from the
always-helpful Lizette who indicated a low degree of certainty in her answer
and suggested that I ask here.

I am trying to clarify some product documentation and clean up some internal
logic - I don't have an actual "problem."

Question: Assuming an ACF2 shop wants to cut SMF 230 (or other as
configured) records, is it sufficient to specify ACF2=230 on the @SMF macro
of the ACFFDR in UM99901, or is it also necessary that the shop specify
SYS(TYPE(230)) or the equivalent in the SMFPRMxx member of the SYS1.PARMLIB
concatenation?
