Record Type 17 (11) — Scratch Data Set Status

Record type 17 is written when a non-temporary DASD data set or a temporary DASD data set is scratched. This record contains the data set name, number of volumes, and volume serial numbers. The job name, time, and date that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job) constitute the job log identification. Its length varies, depending upon the number of volumes for the data set. Refer to record type 65 for information on renaming a VSAM object.

Note: You use the REC parameter, in the SMFPRMxx parmlib member, to specify record type 17 is to be collected. REC(ALL) specifies that record type 17 is to be written for both temporary and non-temporary data sets. REC(PERM) specifies that SMF is to write record type 17 only for non-temporary data sets; it is not to be written for temporary data sets (data sets having names that start with SYSyyddd.Thhmmss, either from DSN=&&datasetname or from the absence of any data set name).
