If none of the intelligent advice helps, would the timestamp in the record
narrow it down to whatever was running at that moment? If you have several
records of one type, only the tasks running at all those times would be

We recently found that a pthread_mutex_lock() issues an SVC under the covers

Does anyone have a list of C functions (POSIX as well as stdlib) that are

In the opening crawl for the original release of Star Wars not only did not say

Is there a way to identify what is creating user written SMF records?
We have 210s, 230s and 254s that we can't identify the source.
We've dumped the records and looked at them. Some give hints (e.g. the 230s
look like perhaps CA OpsMVS, the 254s perhaps something related to SAF).

I'm guessing it comes from the same place that causes people to pronounce CICS

As we saw in the recent thread on converting from JES3 to JES2, JES3 from

Meanwhile there did emerge a 'JES3', but it was not an evolutionary descendant
