Thanks. Looking promising!

Not too bad, perhaps if I have time, I want to play with SMF23, SMF04, SMF05, 
SMF30.5, SMF42 and SMF89.

I have done these records for processing in Assembler, COBOL, ICETOOL, but not 
with REXX because REXX is expensive in CPU, storage and overhead. And slow. No 
I don't have compiled REXX.

When I have time, I will try to contribute with mapping for records which are 
NOT varying with length...

I'm just wondering how you can handle those segments in SMF30, for example, in 
REXX?
