Thanks to all who responded to my previous post. After 40 years in the business I learned something new...amazing ;-)
Truth is, while processing the SMF30 this is the ONLY section (zEDC Usage Statistics Section) that I encountered which has an offset/length and a ZERO count. From this point on, I will ALWAYS check for all three before assuming that there is data at that offset. I still have 4 fields in the SMF30 that I'm not sure how to format them. Can anyone give a quick explanation of how these fields are formatted and if there are other fields in the SMF30 that are a similar format? Is there any CBT code as an example for formatting the SMF30? Can you point me to an IBM manual that explains this?
