SMF Type 6 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 6 SMF records
(IP PRINTWAY).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: IP PrintWay writes record type 6 before deleting a data set from the JES spool or before releasing the data set back to the system (JES).

If IP PrintWay has attempted to transmit the data set to the target system, the file-transfer section contains the number of bytes IP PrintWay transmitted or attempted to transmit. If IP PrintWay attempted to transmit the data set more than once, the file-transfer section contains the total number of bytes in all transmission attempts, including the number of bytes in the successful transmission, if any.

If IP PrintWay restarts a data set that IP PrintWay had previously released back to the system, two SMF records may be written for the same data set. IP PrintWay writes one SMF record when it releases the data set back to the system and writes another when it deletes the data set from the JES spool. When IP PrintWay writes a record for a data set that it restarted, that record contains only the number of bytes transmitted, if any, after IP PrintWay restarted the data set. The calculation of records read (SMF6NLR) and pages printed (SMF6PGE) is handled like that of bytes transmitted.

If IP PrintWay basic mode resubmits a data set to Print Interface for filtering, IP PrintWay basic mode writes two SMF type-6 records for the data set, one record when IP PrintWay sends the data set to Print Interface, and another record when it sends the data set to the printer. You can use the IP PrintWay SMF exit to suppress the first SMF record written.

Determining the writer of the IP PrintWay record type 6: Any post-processor accounting routine that scans a type 6 record can determine the writer of the record from field SMF6SBS and check field SMF6PAD1 to determine the optional sections that are present in the record. When scanning the record for data, the accounting routine obtains the length for each extension section at run time when it moves from one section to the next. The length is a two-byte field at the beginning of each section.

Distinguishing between IP PrintWay basic and extended modes: To ascertain whether type 6 records were written by IP PrintWay basic mode or IP PrintWay extended mode, use the following flag field:

IP PrintWay basic mode: SMF6INDC is set to 1
IP PrintWay extended mode: SMF6INDC is set to 7

It's easy to report on SMF 6 data!

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 can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.

SMF6PQLN can be used to extract the print queue name from SMF6PRTQ.
48	30	SMF6BYTD	8	binary	For IP PrintWay extended mode, the total bytes transmitted (64-bit integer), described in the section introduction. For IP PrintWay basic mode, the SMF6BYTD field is not present.
