SMF Record Header/Self-Defining Section

The SMF Record Header/Self-defining section is a fixed section that prefixes all SMF records generated by CA View.

The SMF Record Header or Self-defining section:

• Identifies the SMF record type, date and time when the SMF record was produced, product name, product release, record subtype, job name, job number, online user, database name, and so on
• Is followed by data pertinent to the record subtypes as indicated in bytes 26–27 of the SMF record
• Is mapped by the SARSMF macro, as all are individual SMF records
