The packed decimal without sign nibble format,
which is INPUT in SAS using the PKn format, is
certainly not only from the '70s.
There are 66 products that MXG Supports whose
SMF/similar data records contain numeric data
in that format.

mitigate against that kind of stupidity we found in our IMS folks who had
chosen that small blocksize to make more use of disk space (which was itself
an incorrect choice).

There is no separate SMF record written when data is sent to the JES SPOOL.
And Type 6 records are be written by JES2 or by some SYSOUT processing packages;
some packages that manage spooled output for viewing and/or printing write
their own SMF User SMF records.

The TYPE 26 Record contains several timestamps, including the
Start and End of SYSOUT Processing for the JOB, and the
Purge time, and it has the SYSTEM on which of the JES events
SYSREAD SYSCVRT SYSEXEC SYSOUTP and SYSJPUR.

I'm totally confused. Why would it NOT be better to have a User Return Code
that
explains the single 0C1 or 0C4 (of which I've had so many, they are Oh-Chuck4's
instead of the more formal Oh-Charlie4) or OC7 value. How is that less useful?

directly read all of the z/OS data files
(DCOLLECT, SMF, etc.) using the ftp access method, so you only need disk space
for the output SAS data sets.

And SUBSYS helps; this is the MXG Software logic to define the TYPETASK
and extract the JESNR from the JCTJOBID and SUBSYS fields
in the job-related SMF records.
