SMF Type 19 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 19 SMF records
(Direct Access Volume).

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

Purpose: Record type 19 is written:
1. For each online device associated with a specific IPL time frame,
2. For each online device associated with a processed HALT EOD or SWITCH SMF command, and
3. When a direct access volume that is defined by DD statement is demounted.

This record contains:

  • The volume serial number
  • The volume table of contents (VTOC) address
  • The owner identification
  • The unit type
  • The number of unused alternate tracks
  • The number of unallocated cylinders and tracks
  • The number of cylinders and tracks in the largest free extent
  • The number of unallocated extents.

It contains the device number and module identification for devices having movable plugs.

Notes:
1. Record type 19 is not produced for DOS volumes used under the operating system.
2. In order to determine the latest status of a shared file, the CPU clocks must be synchronized.

It's easy to report on SMF 19 data!
