Record Type 69 (45) — VSAM Data Space Defined, Extended, or Deleted

The system no longer collects record type 69 as of January, 2000

Note that because VSAM catalogs are no longer supported and no longer exist, the system does not collect record type 69. However if you are using downlevel versions of SMF files, these explanations may still be useful.

Record type 69 is written when a VSAM data space is defined, extended, or deleted using the DEFINE or DELETE Access Method Services commands. Record type 69 is not written when a catalog or a unique data set is defined or deleted.

This record identifies the catalog in which the VSAM data space is defined and the volume on which it is (or was) allocated. It gives the number of free data space extents and the amount of unallocated space on the affected volume after the definition, extension, or deletion. It identifies the job by job log identification and user identification. The job name, time, and date that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job) constitute the job log identification.

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.
