Control Statement Summary

The table below lists the statements and provides brief descriptions:

Statement

Description

ABEND

Converts non-zero return codes of 100 or higher into user abends. This control statement should only be used at CA's direction.

ENDDATE(yyyyddd)

End date for records being dumped from a logstream. The default is the current date or the previous date if the dump begins in the first minute of a day (see ENDTIME for more details).

ENDTIME(hhmm)

End time for records being dumped from a logstream. The default is the current minute less one.

JCL

Indicates that the logstream name for the dump should be picked up from the JCL in the ddname CAILSNM. This overrides the LSNAME control statement, if both are present.

LSNAME(logstream name)

The name of the SMF logstream that is to be dumped. The value of the logstream name must follow the standard IBM logstream naming conventions. In addition, SMF requires that the high-order node of the logstream name must be IFASMF.

NOSTAE

Deactivates any recovery in both the logstream dump driver as well as CA SMF Director. This should be used at CA's direction.

SID(smfid)

The system ID of the SMF data to be dumped. The default is to dump SMF data from the system where the driver and CA SMF Director will be running. This operand can only be used to dump data from other systems if the SMF logstreams are backed by a list structure in the coupling facility.

STARTDATE(yyyyddd)

Start date for records being dumped. The default is the end date from the last dump for the named logstream for the SID being dumped.

STARTTIME(hhmm)

Start time for records being dumped. The default is the end time from the last dump for the named logstream for the SID being dumped.

STORCLAS(sms storage class)

Which storage class to use when allocating the generated SYSIN statements for the IBM utility IFASMFDL that will be used to copy the data from the logstreams. For non-SMS allocations, the UNIT statement can be used.

UNIT(unit name/address)

Which unit to use when allocating the generated SYSIN statements for the IBM utility IFASMFDL that will be used to copy the data from the logstreams. For SMS allocations, the STORCLAS statement can be used.

Note: Either the LSNAME or JCL control statement must be present in control statements. Also either a UNIT or STORCLAS control statement must be present.
