5 5 SMF6RTY 1 binary Record type 6 (X'06').
6 6 SMF6TME 4 binary Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
10 A SMF6DTE 4 packed Date that the record was moved into the SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for a detailed description.
14 E SMF6SID 4 EBCDIC System identification (from the SID parameter).
18 12 SMF6JBN 8 EBCDIC Job name (taken from job's RESQ). The job name, time, and date that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job) constitutes the log identification, or transaction name (for APPC output).
26 1A SMF6RST 4 binary Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job).
30 1E SMF6RSD 4 packed Date that the reader recognized the JOB card for this job, in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for a detailed description.
34 22 SMF6UIF 8 EBCDIC User-defined identification field (taken from common exit parameter area, not from USER=parameter on job statement.)
42 2A SMF6OWC 1 EBCDIC SYSOUT class (this field is blank for non-SYSOUT data sets).
43 2B SMF6WST 4 binary Start time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, of output service working on the data in this record. This field is filled in at JES3 LOGIN time for the writer job.
47 2F SMF6WSD 4 packed Start date of output service working on the data in this record, in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for a detailed description. This field is filled in at JES3 LOGIN time for the writer job.
51 33 SMF6NLR 4 binary Number of logical records written by the writer. This field is filled in when a data set is completed or restarted. The count is a cumulative count which includes repeats and restarts. It does not include records skipped due to forward repositioning of the writer.
