If you are processing your SMF data with SAS (e.g. MXG, MICS, RYO, etc.), just use something like this example (from http://support.sas.com): Sample 38159: Create XML on z/OS using the XML LIBNAME engine Creating XML files on z/OS can be accomplished by using the XML LIBNAME engine. When

John, IMO, the first problem to solve would be to create a good model/schema description for SMF records - the DSECTS are really insufficient (actual data types and structure can only be gleaned from the comments or other documentation) If you had an XML document that *described* each SMF record
