You would need to follow the CAA chain. For a standard LE task you would find the anchor in the TCB. CICS would have it in its control blocks. If you need it to be super clean, i.e., avoiding walking control blocks, you could probably fake a call to your routine with NAB=NO and then use the

Let me add to my post - if you read abut SMF CI Size in member ACHAP03 of the MXG source/documentation library, you will see a very good discussion of the trade-off between DASD space and CISIZE in MANx datasets. Apparently SMF doesn't do VBS in the MANx datasets in the same way "regular" VBS

One thing to consider is the number, type and complexity of the control cards being used in the dump utility request itself; if you are using a "lot" of output targets you might consider using a "SORT" type program instead of the IFASMFDP utility itself for the dump process (you still need it

Agreed. If you have a large MASDEF and you try to list volume stats from a different system, it can take quite a while for the info to come back. Suggestion is shared checkpoint volumes be at 100 at all times, or gen the checkpoint volume to just the systems that use it. for MASDEF=.
