Standard SMF Record Header

Each record created by CA Spool and passed to SMF contains the standard SMF record header, plus one field containing the subtype, and one field containing the subsystem identifier of the CA Spool system, which created the record.

The format of the CA Spool SMF record header is:


Offset		Name	Length	Format	Source	Description
0	0	SMFFLAG	1	Binary		System indicator Bit meaning (if set): 0-5 reserved 6 VS2 7 VS1
1	1	SMFRTYPE	1	Binary	ESF	OS Record type
2	2	SMFTIME	4	Binary		Time, in hundredths of a second, when record was moved to the SMF buffer.
6	6	SMFDATE	4	Packed		Date record was moved to the SMF buffer, in the form 0CYYDDDF where F is the sign.
10	A	SMFSYSID	4	EBCDIC		System identification (taken from system SID parameter or ESF SID parameter).
14	E	SMFSTYPE	1	Binary	Internal	Record subtype.
15	F	SMFSUBID	4	Mixed	$SSNAM	ESF subsystem identification.
19	13	SMFSYSID	4	EBCDIC	SID PARM	SID from parameters or SMF.
23	17		3			Reserved.

If SMF=SUBTYPE is specified, then the format of the CA Spool SMF record header is:


Offset		Name	Length	Format	Source	Description
0	0	SMFFLAG	1	Binary		System indicator Bit meaning (if set): 0-5 reserved 6 VS2 7 VS1
1	1	SMFRTYPE	1	Binary	ESF	OS Record type
2	2	SMFTIME	4	Binary		Time, in hundredths of a second, when record was moved to the SMF buffer.
6	6	SMFDATE	4	Packed		Date record was moved to the SMF buffer, in the form 00YYDDDF where F is the sign.
10	A	SMFSYSID	4	EBCDIC		System identification (taken from system SID parameter or ESF SID parameter).
14	E	SMFXSSI	4	Mixed	$SSNAM	ESF subsystem identification.
18	12	SMFXSTY	2	Mixed	Internal	Record subtype.
20	14	SMFXSSID	4	EBCDIC	SID PARM	SID from parameters or SMF.
24	18		2			Reserved.

Note: When using the SMF records, remember to add four bytes to the offset listed in the record to account for the RDW.
