SMF Type 55 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 55 SMF records
(JES2 Network SIGNON).

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

Purpose: Record type 55 is written at each node when a start networking command is processed. The initial SIGNON is recorded at the node to which the SIGNON was sent; the response SIGNON is recorded at the node that originated the initial SIGNON.

It's easy to report on SMF 55 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.

SMF Type 55 Record -- JES2 Network SIGNON
Offset (Dec.)	Offset (Hex)	Name	Length	Format	Description
0	0	SMF55LEN	2	binary	Record length. This field and the next field (total of four bytes) form the RDW (record descriptor word). See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
2	2	SMF55SEG	2	binary	Segment descriptor (see record length field).
4	4	SMF55FLG	1	binary	System indicator: Bit Meaning When Set 0-2 Reserved 3-6 Version indicators* 7 Reserved.*See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
5	5	SMF55RTY	1	binary	Record type 55 (X'37').
6	6	SMF55TME	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
10	A	SMF55DTE	4	packed	Date when the record was moved into the SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
14	E	SMF55SID	4	EBCDIC	System identification (from the SID parameter).
18	12	SMF55SBS	2	binary	Subsystem identification — X'0002' signifies JES2.
20	14	SMF55SUB	2	binary	Record subtype.
22	16	SMF55LRR	2	binary	Length of rest of record, not including this field.
24	18	SMF55NNM	8	EBCDIC	Node name.
32	20	SMF55MEM	1	binary	Member number.
33	21	SMF55FG1	1	binary	Sign-On Status Flag Bit Meaning When Set 0 Response sign-on (off = initial sign-on) 1-7 Reserved.
34	22	SMF55LPW	8	EBCDIC	Line password as defined in JESPARMS.
42	2A	SMF55NPW	8	EBCDIC	Node password as defined in JESPARMS.
