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.

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.
