Since your extent count/total tracks are inconsistent your JCL, maybe you
should dump the DSCB and see what is really going on with your dataset.  The
TSO LISTDS command with the LABEL option is one universally available
method.

What is the return code associated with the B37?  It should be available
from the accompanying IEC030I message.  If it is 4, you may want to move the
dataset to a volume with room for the dataset to grow.

What is specified for the INTVAL parameter in your SMFPRMxx member?  That
will determine how frequently you generate type 89 records.  Since the
maximum value is 60 (minutes), one has to wonder how in 24 hours you
generated only 8 records.

How many times have you run the job?  Unless you clean out the MAN1 dataset,
you are repeatedly dumping the same SMF records.  Did you notice the NOT
CATLGD 2 disposition on all executions after the first?

There are tools on the CBT tape that will analyze SMF records and tell you
what other jobs are using your SMFDATA dataset.  I'm partial to Mike
Cleary's DAF tool.
