True enough, but hard to work backwards. Given "ACF2" it is fairly easy to come up with "230." Given "230" it is tough to come up with "ACF2" (other than from Cheryl's or your own list.) Lizette makes a good point about *defaults." Almost every vendor product that writes a "user" SMF record gives customers the ability to customize the number -- so as to be able to obviate collisions. So while 230 is probably ACF2, it could in fact be nearly any product that writes a user SMF record, and your ACF2 could be writing any user SMF record number. (But that direction is easy -- the number will be in a documented ACF2 configuration member.)

I have usually maintained a text file in SYS1.PARMLIB that contains a list of either SVCs or SMF records for non IBM products. If you do not have that, then you may have to find another way. And I am not sure how that can be done if you do not have the ability to search any and all installation libraries for vendor products to see what pops up. Sometimes shops will use the defaults supplied by the Vendors and that will be documented in the vendors installation manual. So I would start with that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
