SMF Type 61 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 61 SMF records
(Integrated Catalog Facility Define Activity).

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

Purpose: Record type 61 is written during any processing that results in a DEFINE request to Catalog Management Services, such as:

IDCAMS DEFINE
IEHPROGM CATLG

One type 61 record is written for each record inserted or updated in a catalog. Record type 61 identifies the entry being defined and the catalog in which the catalog record is written and gives the new or updated catalog record. It identifies the job by job log and user identifiers.

It's easy to report on SMF 61 data! (Jump to sample reports)

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 61 Record -- Integrated Catalog Facility Define Activity
Offset (Dec.)	Offset (Hex)	Name	Length	Format	Description
0	0	SMF61LEN	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	SMF61SEG	2	binary	Segment descriptor (see record length field).
4	4	SMF61SYS	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	SMF61RTY	1	binary	Record type 61 (X'3D').
6	6	SMF61TME	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
10	A	SMF61DTE	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	SMF61CPU	4	EBCDIC	System identification (from the SID parameter).
18	12	SMF61SBS	4	--	Reserved.
22	16	SMF61SUB	2	EBCDIC	The action taken on the catalog entry; valid values are: IN (INSERT) DE (DELETE) UP (UPDATE)
24	18	SMF61POF	4	binary	Offset of product section from start of record, including record descriptor word (RDW).
28	1C	SMF61PLN	2	binary	Length of product section.

42	2A	SMF61PNM	8	EBCDIC	Catalog management product identifier.
50	32	SMF61JNM	8	EBCDIC	Job name. The job log identification consists of the job name, time, and date that the reader recognized for the JOB card (for this job). If a system task caused the record to be written, the job name and user identification fields contain blanks and the time and date fields contain zeros.
58	3A	SMF61RST	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job).
62	3E	SMF61RDT	4	packed	Date reader recognized the JOB card for this job, in the form 0cyydddF. See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.

75	4B	SMF61CNM	44	EBCDIC	Name of catalog in which entry is defined.
119	77	SMF61TYP	1	EBCDIC	Entry type identifier. For a description of this field, see the SMF60TYP field on page 13-255.
120	78	SMF61ENM	44	EBCDIC	Entry name.
164	A4	SMF61NNM	44	--	Reserved.
208	D0	SMF61CRC	variable	binary	New catalog record for defined entry (the length of this record is contained in the first two bytes of this field).

The table above is based on the description provided by IBM in its "MVS Systems Management Facilities (SMF)" manual.

Spectrum SMF Writer - the 4GL SMF Report Writer.

Sample Report from SMF 61, 65 and 66 Records
Showing Integrated Catalog Activity

The sample SMF report below was created with Spectrum SMF Writer, the low-cost 4GL SMF report writer.

In this report, we read as input the SMF file and select three types of records:

SMF 61 record - Integrated Catalog Facility Define Activity
SMF 65 record - Integrated Catalog Facility Delete Activity
SMF 66 record - Integrated Catalog Facility Alter Activity

The report shows the time, system and jobname associated with each change to the catalog. It shows the type of change, information about the entity involved, and the catalog changed. We sorted the report in time order. (We could also have sorted it by entity name, and then time order.)

This is a good example of reporting on 3 different SMF record types. In this case, it was easy because all 3 records have the same layout. This example also shows how to code "tables" to look up the meaning of various codes. That way your report shows meaningful information, not just cryptic codes.

All of this with just a few lines of code!
