Good point. Perhaps not. You could certainly do some processing of some SMF
records with COBOL, or you could write an assembler routine to make SMF triplet
sections readily addressable with COBOL. Or perhaps with native COBOL --
doesn't COBOL now have some sort of based variable support? IANACP (I am not a
COBOL programmer.)
COBOL can do all the offset based stuff. It used to be terrible at
pointer arithmetic but handle that now without a sweat.
If you have the mappings COBOL would probably be a better choice then a
lot of languages. Especially now it's fast.

Of course. Just have a good calculator ready... ;-D
Having somehow queued your records for further processing, you can do analysis
to your heart's content in assembler, COBOL, or your language of choice.
