When ERBDSQRY completes successfully and returns control to your program, the answer area contains the common header plus one directory entry for each SMF record. The directory entry contains a record token created by ERBDSQRY, which may be used for a subsequent call to ERBDSREC to request the actual SMF record itself, and the SMF record header.
The complete layout for the answer area directory entry for request_type = SMF is:
where:
- RECTOKENn
- Record token provided by ERBDSQRY to be used on subsequent calls to ERBDSREC.
- SMFHDRn
- SMF record header (24 bytes) as described in z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF).
For SMF record types without subtypes, which have a header only 18
bytes long, bytes 19 to 24 contain hex zeros.
Name Length Format Description. SMFxxLEN 2 Integer SMF record length SMFxxSEG 2 Integer SMF segment descriptor SMFxxFLG 1 Binary SMF system indicator SMFxxRTY 1 Integer SMF record type SMFxxTME 4 Integer SMF record time (1/100 sec) SMFxxDTE 4 0CYYDDDF SMF record date SMFxxSID 4 Char SMF system id SMFxxSSI 4 Char SMF subsystem id SMFxxSTY 2 Integer SMF record subtype
For request_type = SMF, the directory entries are sorted by:
- SMFxxDTE: SMF record date
- SMFxxTME: SMF record time
- SMFxxRTY: SMF record type
- SMFxxSTY: SMF record subtype
- SMFxxSID: SMF record system ID
For request_type = RMF™ only, each directory entry contains additional information from the RMF product section of the SMF record. The layout for request_type = RMF is:
where:
- RMFINFOn
- For request_type = RMF, this field contains 32 bytes of additional
information from the RMF product
section of the SMF record:
Name Length Format Description. SMFxxDAT 4 0CYYDDDF RMF actual interval start date SMFxxIST 4 0HHMMSSF RMF actual interval start time SMFxxINT 4 MMSSTTTF RMF actual interval length SMFxxOIL 2 Integer RMF projected interval length (seconds) SMFxxSYN 2 Integer RMF synchronization value (seconds) SMFxxLGO 8 (STCK) RMF offset GMT to local time SMFxxGIE 8 (STCK) RMF projected interval end (GMT)
For request_type = RMF, the directory entries are sorted by:
- SMFxxDAT: RMF interval start date
- SMFxxIST: RMF interval start time
- SMFxxRTY: SMF record type
- SMFxxSTY: SMF record subtype
- SMFxxSID: SMF record system ID
