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?

Re: AW: Odd SMF 30 data within IEFACTRT
Thank you peter. You are correct and this was entirely my mistake. I (incorrectly) assumed that if an offset and length existed for a SMF30 segment that there must be at least 1. WRONG, I need to check all three for non-zero values. With the SMF that I've processed so far over the last couple weeks, the zEDC Usage Statistics Section is the only one that I've encountered that has an offset and length and a zero count. Anyway, I was incorrect and have since updated my code. Thanks again Peter and all those who pointed out my error. Dan The fields you show look to me as if they partly contain EBCDIC data. E.g. the first field has x'E2E3C5D7' which is c'STEP'. Has there been any zEDC compression in that step?

Odd SMF 30 data within IEFACTRT
I've been looking at various data available within the IEFACTRT exit's SMF 30 record. We're running zOS 2.2 and are quite current on maintenance. I must note that this is on a zPDT box which may or may not make a difference. The data that I find odd is in the "zEDC Usage Statistics Section". Here are the fields in the section and their HEX values: SMF30_US_ComprReq 200F2A40E2E3C5D7 SMF30_US_ComprReq_Prob D3C9C249 SMF30_US_QueueTime7FF8 SMF30_US_ExecTime 7FF8 SMF30_US_Def_UncomprIn E2E8E2D7D9C9 SMF30_US_Def_ComprOut D5E3 SMF30_US_Inf_ComprIn SMF30_US_Inf_DecomprOut200F2A3F The EXECTime and QueueTime are supposed to be in microseconds. Why does one have "7FF8" in the 1st word and the other have it in the 2nd word? ComprReq is the total number of compressions & decompressions (problem and supervisor state). ComprReq_Prob is the number in problem state. Shouldn't it be a subset of ComprReq? I'm not sure what other fields are incorrect. Does anyone else find these odd or is it just me?

Re: Time Mic conversion
Thanks everyone. I also thought that shifting 12 bits to the right was required, but it isn't. I used the 8 byte output from "TIME MIC" as input to "STCKCONV ... TIMETYPE=BIN". The output is a "TIME BIN" doubleword with the 2nd word (date) zeros. Paul was correct ... time of day since midnight where? or when ... last week? For my test case I issued "TIME BIN" and saved TODAYs date as the 2nd word "TIME BIN" creates 00682B6E0117293F which converts to 18:57:48.62 2017/293 "TIME MIC" creates FE94478AEBC0 which STCKCONV changes to 00684690 / 006846900117293F after today's date inserted. This is identical to the "TIME BIN" output and generates the same character time value.

I'm using TSO RECEIVE to read outputs from JES SPOOL.
On what z/OS level are you?

The outputs is created by allocating and writing as:

DEST(systarget.userid) RECFM(V,B) LRECL(varies) BLKSIZE(32756) REUSE')
'EXECIO' s.0 'DISKW LOGROUTT (STEM S. FINIS'
The problem is the performance. There is many files with mostly one
record.
Receive takes from 1/10 to 1 second elapsed time to get one file.
Ouch. And you probably have gazillions of them?
You could say so...
I have tried the REXX/ISFACT interface to SDSF but it was only a minor,
if any,
improvement.
Plus - I remember now - that I can't (sometime?) purge the files after the
read due to some racfrule. RECEIVE obviously isn't affected by those.
I would also go that route. But in the first place I would like the
jobowner to
write the outputs in the first place to datasets. Say for example changing
that
ALLOC statements somehow.
Well, this application is a sort of a primitive log function made by me.
The benefit of this solution is 1: It's independent of the environment
(MVS batch, TSO etc.) 2: It's relative fast (no alloc of a dataset etc.)
3: There is no enque problem or racf dependency regarding DSName.
Possible alternatives which I have NOT tested out for your scenario:
Offloader?
External writer, probably RYO one?
I think there are Assembler (better performance) examples on the CBTTAPE.
Anyone out there who can remember in what file(s) it was?
This would be interesting. I have browsed the cbt descriptions but not
found any that seems relevant.
We have a commercial spool offloader we use to extract the job outputs and
place it in datasets which can be browsed in an ISPF screen. That
offloader frees
up our spool space by extracting job outputs 24 hours per day and keep it
for x
days as required by our users.
Any suggestion for a better performance?
Not much. There is a lot of overhead for just one record as found PER job.
JES2
and your interface to open it from both sides. Then the actual transfer of
that
line and then close on both sides. Then JES2 has to update its checkpoints
and do
some spooloverhead. Then your interface has to unalloc it and catalog it.
And all of this - if your JES2 is really busy, you will have to wait your
turn.
Perhaps little WLM tuning can help?

Re: IPCS BLSQMFLD NAME=
Thanks for the reply Nick. I'm building a utility to that will take an assembled DSECT and create BLSQMDEF/BLSQMFLD BLSQSHDR for the flag mapping. This utility will build BLSQMFLD macros with OFF= and LEN= for each field. This will allow the NAME= to be any part of the label that I choose. Normally, the PREFIX= will be used to strip off a matching prefix but as that's only good for 8 bytes, I'll have to do something in the code. I'll add a PARM to this program to indicate the LAST 8 bytes of the label are to be used. Hopefully this will make the label more identifiable than the 1st 8 bytes.

We use quite a few LONG labels. Many of these I can shorten by using the PREFIX= keyword and removing the beginning of the label which is often the same for all labels within the DSECT. The problem is with some of the labels where the matching prefix is 8 characters. Let's say I have a label of LongLabel_Field_Number1. If I code BLSQMFLD NAME=LongLabel_Field_Number1,DTYPE=EBCDIC the resulting label will be LongLabe. If I add PREFIX=16 to remove LongLabel_Field_ the macro produces an MNOTE INVALID VALUE SPECIFIED FOR PREFIX. Has anyone found a way around this problem? Of course, the BLSQMFLD macro could ALWAYS code OFF= LEN= which would allow ANY text to be placed in NAME=. I'd prefer not to do that. Thanks for any suggestions. Dan Hi Dan, Sorry for the delayed response, we must have missed this. BLSQMFLD output is somewhat built around the premise of being organized in 8 character chunks. With the label filling 8 characters and the ouput filling a multiple of 8 characters. Everything ends up aligned somewhat by 8 character sections. Longer (inline) labels might have broken that consistency. What I often see done is the use of the SHDR option to produce labels. ex: BLSQMFLD SHDR=SHDRxx,VIEW=X'0200',NEWLINE BLSQMFLD NAME=FOO,OFF=X'00EC',LEN=4,VIEW=X'0200' ... SHDRxx BLSQSHDR 'zzz ' This will produce a label on one line followed by the field contents on another line (probably without a label). -Nick Jones z/OS Service Aids -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

Re: GDG question
Robert, No other job can reference a relative generation while the create job is running. The create job holds an exclusive ENQ on the GDG base as well as GDG(0) preventing any other job from running. This does not prevent another address space from referencing the generations by absolute name. Dan -Original Message- From: Robert A.

Creating the new version (+1) does not delay use of (0). If you require others wait for the new version (+1), then you will need DISP=OLD for the (0) GDG while creating the new version. GDG's (0), (+1), (+2), ... (-1), (-2),.. are each unique datasets. The only commonality is they are referenced thru the GDG name. Treat them as different datasets. One warning about relative generation numbers. Lets say the current generation number is 1234. A job that reads GDG(0) and creates GDG(+1) will create generation 1235. While the job is still running, GDG(0) will stay as 1234 even to jobs that start while the create job is running. As soon as it ends GDG(0) becomes 1235 while GDG(-1) will now be 1234. Any job that was running during the create job will keep its GDG(0) reference as 1234 even in steps that start after the creating job ends and GDG(0) becomes 1235 - IOW: Who is GDG(0) is fixed when the job starts and is not affected by the creation of additional generations. This can cause problems if you code GDG(0) as DISP=OLD in a create job since all jobs that launch after it starts and reference GDG(0) will wait for that job to end BUT since that job creates a GDG(+1), the waiting jobs have already decided what generation is GDG(0) and thus will actually be working with GDG(-1) not the newly created generation when they run. I do not know of a way to insure you are getting GDG(+!) when you reference GDG(0) by waiting for it to be finished being created - You always get GDG(0) at the time you get launched. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
