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

Sample SMF 30 Report -- Step Completion Codes

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.

This sample report was created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL SMF report writer. It reads as input the SMF file and selects just the type 30 records with a subtype of 4 ("step termination" records.) It prints data to identify the job and step and indicate how it completed.

The SMF record itself just contains a 2-byte binary value for step completion code (SMF30SCC). (See SMF 30 record layout). Depending on the form of the value in SMF30SCC, we format it as a system abend code, user abend code, user return code or a normal (zero) completion code.

A useful modification to this job would be to select only records with a non-zero completion code. That could be the basis of a daily exception report.
