NTS SMF Record Description for All Sub-types

All records contain the following sections:

• SMF Header Section

  This section is present in all standard SMF records. NTS SMF records are recognizable by SMFNMRTY=X'27'(SMF Type 39). Following the standard header is the Type 39 extension providing the product identifier and record sub-type field SMFNSUBT.

• Data Section

  This section is present in all NTS SMF records and provides a map giving the number and offsets for all other SMF data sections contained in the record.

• Product Section

  One product section is always present. This section includes the product identifier (NETM), the product version information, and the record sub-type field. This sub-type field, SMFNPSUB, is set to the same value as SMFNSUBT (above) except where SMFNSUBT=X'FF' (Sub-type 255). Sub-type 255 records are NTS defined, and are further sub-divided by the SMFNPSUB field.
