Our annual SAS and MXG renewal in Australia is under AU$10,000. Not sure what
the up front fee was.
MXG renewal is the same as up-front.
$1500 US, the last time I acquired it.
SAS renewal was 15% of the original, at the same time.

I realize that most people likely use SAS for SMF reporting. We did this
in
the past. Management has declared that SAS on the z is simply too
expensive.

DF/SORT and/or ICETOOL are my first 2 choices. Examples abound. Take a
look at Frank Y.'s examples in the IBM web site first. I wrote several
DF/SORT based SMF jobs years ago before we purchased a product that does a
much better job.

I've always used Optimized PL/1 for these sorts of requests. It took me
a while but I created PL/1 Structures for the various SMF records as
needed; that was the hard part. After that, I used PL/1 to create quite
a number of reports in a fairly short time: program usage statistics,

Correct. Hard money means a check made out to somebody. Soft money is
possible, but that basically means that __we__ do something to get the
report so our salary is paying for it.

I'm not that familiar with it but the RMF Spreadsheet Reporter might povide
you with some z/OS performance reporting.
I'm pretty sure it comes with RMF so it probably meets your requirement of
being something you already have.

What's SAS on Winders cost? I thought it was pretty cheap, almost pocket

Compared to 'normal' software on Windows it's expensive, and there's an annual

You might like to try my product, which I recently released for beta
testing. It won't be free, but the price shouldn't raise eyebrows for
people used to buying PC software... ultimately the question will be how
