IDK. But REXX is a waste of resources when there are better weapons in
arsenal.

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.
