Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: IKJEFT1B program name SMF

"Programs" do not get to write or directly control the contents of SMF 30 
records. IRXJCL would have no way to "record the member" (in the SMF 30).

IBM would of course be free to add the PARM= information to the SMF 30 record, 
or to create a new record type for PARM= data, or a new record type for IRXJCL 
options and results.

I have no idea of the efficacy of an RFE, but snowflakes and Avernus come to 
mind.

I do not disagree with the assertion that PARM= data would be useful. As a guy 
who has spent the past 8 years trying to populate organizational security 
threat repositories from the contents of SMF records I can tell you that there 
is a lot of additional data that would be useful in SMF records.

This feels like cause fo RFE that IRXJCL itself should record in SMF the member 
called.
Most readers would find the "%SOMETHING"  more informative than "IRXJCL".
