SMF Type 52 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 52 SMF records
(JES2 LOGON/Start Line (SNA only)).

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

Purpose: Record type 52 is written when:

  • A $S LNEn command (to start a line) is issued
  • A $E LNEn command (to restart a line) is issued, and
  • When a remote user signs on.

This record contains a record indicator, remote name, line name, password, and message text.

It's easy to report on SMF 52 data!
