Hope I'm not wrong when I say that REXX has support to read VB and VBS... from v2r3 or something. That said, you'll start crying as soon as you try to start processing CICS SMF in REXX. If you have any CICS monitoring product that records its own SMF, it's easier to start recording that SMF

CICS has native support (CMF - CICS Monitoring Facility) for generating SMF records documenting errors, transaction detail (performance class), and region interval activity. These can (and usually do) go to SMF, but can go to other log files. Other monitors have that capability of capturing

CICS can produce the related SMF records. Some monitors such as omegamon also produce transaction usage history that can save you some SMF records. Some products, such as zSecure can read VBS files as well. Last thing, Rexx EXECIO can process VBS files. ITschak ITschak Mugzach *|** IronSphere

Not a real answer - but more of a side question for others. Whenever I wanted a quick look at SMF records I would dump what I was interested in to my own dataset, which was VBS of course. Then I used an auth command we had called DSCBMOD (maybe from CBT?) to change VBS to VB and I was off
