Although there should be a brief discription on the SMF record format at the beginning of each chapter, it is more thought to be a book on processing SMF data. The program language in the book is REXX but it should be easy to use other languages in a batch environment like Java or C/C++ as well. The main intention of the book is providing a formula collection that enables a systems programer to get the most out of SMF records in a relativ quick time.
