Cool! It is indeed great! Many thanks, I totally forgot about George Ng, the author of that REXX program. I see that REXX is also plagued [for now] by the inability to read VBS datasets, but it uses IDCAMS repro from VBS to VB data and then process the SMF records. Thanks, I also see that nice parse statement handling SMF Julian dates. >BTW, with z/OS 2.1 Rexx can read VBS's so it is now very well equipped to >easily read dumped SMF records. Ah, yes, I forgot that. It was mentioned in the first z/OS v2.1 announcement. I believe that REXX sample can be shortened to omit the REPRO step. Hard to remember everything... ;-) Thanks for your kind reminder. I really appreciate it. While REXX is somewhat heavy on speed and resources, that sample is a very good tool for a quick and dirty SMF job.
