Spectrum SMF Writer - Low-Cost 4GL Report Writer for SMF Files.

Sample DFSORT Statistics Report from SMF 16 and 30 Records

It's easy to report on SMF data!
 

SMF Spectrum Writer
We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus Spectrum SMF Writer even exports SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

The sample SMF report below was created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL SMF report writer.

In this report, we want to show DFSORT statistics (from SMF 16 records), but only for sorts that were invoked from a program. (There is a bit in the SMF 16 record that identifies sorts invoked by a program.) We also want to include the invoking program's name in the report.

The difficulty with this report is that the program name is not included in the SMF 16 record. To get the program name in our report, we must find an SMF 30 step termination record for the same job step that produced the SMF 16 DFSORT statistics record. The SMF 30 record will include the name of the program.

That is a bit of a stretch for Spectrum SMF Writer. It is mostly intended to process one record at a time. Using data from two different records at the same takes a little extra effort. However, this example shows how you can accomplish this by using two Spectrum SMF Writer steps.

The first step selects two types of records. All SMF 16 records with the "program" bit on. And all SMF 30 subtype 4 (step termination records). For each record, we build a Job ID field. This field will be unique for each job in the SMF file. We then sort our "report" on this JOBID field. That sorts the SMF 16 and SMF 30 records for the same job together. Our secondary sort is on SMF record type (descending). That ensures that for jobs with both a 16 and a 30 record, the 30 record will come first. Now, instead of printing a report in this step, we actually output these sorted SMF records intact. We write these selected and sorted SMF records out to a temporary dataset.

Now we run the second Spectrum SMF Writer step. It reads the sorted SMF 16 and 30 records from our temporary dataset. We are only going to select the SMF 16 records for our report. (We know that any SMF 16 record in this file has the "program" bit on, since we tested for that in the first step.) For each SMF 16 record, we will write one line to our report.

However, we still need to obtain the name of the program that invoked the sort. That program name will be in the matching SMF 30 record that was read just before the corresponding SMF 16 record. So we need a way to save that program name from the SMF 30 records as they are read (and then excluded from the report). We save the program name in a field named SAVE_PGMNAME so that it remains available when we read the matching SMF 16 record that follows. We can then use this saved program name along with all of the SMF 16 record's fields to print our report line.

The special RETAIN parm of the COMPUTE statement is what enables us to save this program name from the SMF 30 record as it passes by.

As each SMF record is read, a vaslue is assigned to the SAVE_PGMNAME compute field. When the record is type 30, we assign the value of that SMF 30 record's program name field (SMF30PGM). (However, we do not include this SMF 30 record in the report.) When the record is not 30 (meaning that it must be type 16), we do not assign a new value to the compute field. Instead, we "retain" the value that it was assigned for the previous 30 record (as long as the jobid's match.) Then we include this SMF 16 record in our report. And now we also have the retained program name (from the previous type 30 record) available to include in the report line, along with all of the fields from the SMF 16 record.

All of this with just a few lines of code!
