How to Obtain User SMF Record Types

You should obtain user SMF record types (128-255) for both old (unsubtyped) and new (subtyped) records. To do this, contact the System Programming group and ask them to do the following:

  1. Assign SMF record types that do not conflict with other users or applications.
  2. Make sure that those numbers are not excluded by SMF.
  3. Make sure that installed SMF exits do not ignore assigned SMF record types, that is, they are not written to SMF data sets.
