JOB and STEP Record Type Data

Variable data for all MVS variables with record type JOB or STEP is accumulated from SMF30 type records, as follows:

• Variables with record type JOB use subtype 5 records. Subtype 5 records are created at the end of the job and represent the entire activity for that job.
• Variables with record type STEP use subtype 2 and subtype 3 records, which are delta-count records. Subtype 2 records are created at each SMF interval. Subtype 3 records are created at the end of each step.
