SMF Type 26 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 26 SMF records
(JES2 Job Purge).

List of other SMF record layouts available.
List of sample SMF reports.

Purpose: When all SYSOUT for a job is processed, JES2 invokes exit IEFUJP to allow an installation to decide whether to write record type 26. Then, JES2 writes this record at job purge. This record identifies the job-by-job log identification, JES2-assigned job number, and programmer’s name. JES2 can be induced to not write this record on a job class basis.

Record type 26 contains operating information such as:

  • Message class
  • Job class
  • JES2 job selection priority
  • JES2 logical input device name
  • Output lines
  • Output punched cards
  • Print/punch route codes
  • Start and stop times for:
    • The reader
    • The Converter
    • The Execution processor
    • The output processor.

It's easy to report on SMF 26 data!

SMF Spectrum Writer
We have a low-cost 4GL report writer especially for SMF files. It's called Spectrum SMF Writer.

Spectrum SMF Writer handles the difficult SMF record parsing for you automatically. You just specify which fields you want to see.

Spectrum SMF Writer also converts the arcane date and time fields and reformats them into an attractive report.

Plus, Spectrum SMF Writer can export SMF data as comma delimited files to use on your PC.
