RECFM for SMF output to tape must be V or VB

Reason

The RECFM parameter on the FILEDEF for the output SMF tape file must be V for variable or VB for variable‑blocked. You must specify the RECFM parameter this way because SMF data is variable length.

Action

Change the RECFM parameter on the output FILEDEF to V or VB. Ensure that the LRECL and BLKSIZE parameters are also in sync. The recommended values are RECFM VB LRECL 10240 BLKSIZE 32756.
