Allan:
I suggest he uses DAF from the CBTTAPE.ORG it reads SMF and gives
various reports depending on you needs. My memory is iffy but I
*THINK* there is a SMF 119 report as well.

This is no different than reading any other SMF record.
In theory, any program/clist/exec/shell script,.... can read the
records provided the security subsystem grants you access.
The question is how much work do you want to do?
The SAS or WPS languages are considered the "standard" tool for
reading those files. Built-in constructs in those languages make
processing of that data relatively easy. Equally doable, but not
necessarily as easy, are REXX, COBOL, HLASM,.....
If SAS or WPS is not available, there are several "packages"
available on the CBT tape (www.cbttape.org) in various languages.
Check the CBT tape index and chose the one most relevant to your
purpose.
Last, but not least MXG and MICS are commercial packages that
extract the data into a "useable" form and allow access to the
extracted
data via SAS or WPS.
If I recall correctly, the SMF 119 record layout is described in
one of the TCP/IP manuals. Another possibility is the MVS: System
Management Facilities:
Processing SMF records is not a trivial exercise. There are many
"gotcha's" in the actual processing of the data.

1. How can I read the SMF 119 records?
2. It is possible with a Rexx program, Cobol, Application or similar?
