SMF Records

This appendix describes the CA Spool generated SMF-formatted records.
CA Spool reports all major events in the system using SMF records. You have to specify SMF=YES in the parameter data set to report the events.

Fields marked as reserved are used either by CA Spool or by SMF, and are not available for user modifications. CA Spool uses only one record type (specified by the SMFTYPE parameter).

To separate the various SMF records, CA Spool operates with record subtypes, which ranges from 0 to 255.

All the CA Spool SMF records are mapped by the $IQSMFB macro, which is located in the CA Spool source library. The macro has no operands. If the $IQSMFB macro is used to map the record fields, use SMFFLAG (without RDW) or SMFRDW (with RDW) in the USING statement.
