SMF Type 43 Record - JES2

This table shows the record layout for type 43 SMF records
(JES2 Start).

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

Purpose: Record type 43 is written when the operator issues an S JES2 command (to start JES2) or a $E SYS command (to reclaim the job processing that was being done on the named system in a multi-access spool configuration). This record contains a warm start indicator, JES2 start options, and the identification of the system whose job processing is to be reclaimed.

It's easy to report on SMF 43 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.
