Channel path data section

There is one section per channel path.

Offsets Name Length Format Description
0 0 SMF73PID 1 binary Channel path identification. The range of values is X'0' to X'FF'.

Support for dynamic I/0. There are always X'FF' path data sections in record type 73, even though there might not be X'FF' CHPIDs defined in the system. These dummy data sections in the SMF records only contain the channel path ID. The rest is filled with hexadecimal zeroes.

4 4 SMF73BSY 4 binary Count of store channel path status (STCPS) samples taken by SRM in which the channel path related to this entry was found busy. This count is normalized (broken down into the simplest expression).
8 8 SMF73PBY 4 binary Partition's channel-path-busy-time since last RMF™ interval, in units of 1024 microseconds.
12 C SMF73PTI 4 binary Partition's channel-path measurement interval, in units of 1024 microseconds.
16 10 SMF73CPD 1 binary Channel path description. For an explanation, you can issue the command D M=CHP.
17 11 SMF73ACR 5 EBCDIC Channel path acronym.
22 16 SMF73CMG 1 binary CPMF Channel measurement group.
23 17 SMF73FG5 1 binary CPMF validation flags - each bit (if on) indicates that the corresponding measurement data is available and valid. This refers to the first five words of the channel measurement data in field SMF73CCM.

24 18 SMF73CCM 48 * CPMF Channel measurement data (extended mode).

The contents of this field is different for each measurement group, as described in the following tables.

72 48 SMF73CPP 1 binary Channel path parameter.
73 49 SMF73GEN 1 binary Channel type generation.
74 4A SMF73EIX 2 binary Index to Extended Channel Path data section. Only valid if bit 6 of SMF73FG4 is set.
76 4C SMF73SPD 2 binary Channel path speed at the end of interval. If channel path power (bits 4-7 of SMF73MSC) is zero, the channel path speed is in units of 100 megabits per second. Otherwise, this value must be multiplied by 10**Power to get the speed in units of bits per second.
78 4E SMF73MSC 1 binary Miscellaneous
0 - 3

4 - 7
Channel path power at the end of interval. If non-zero, this value can be used to calculate the channel path speed (SMF73SPD * 10**Power).
