SMF Type 43 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 43 SMF records
(JES3 Start).

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

Purpose: Record type 43 is written during JES3 and the converter/interpreter functional subsystem (C/I FSS) initialization. This record contains an indicator for the type of JES3 start, JES3 initialization deck origin type and contents, and JES3 procedure name.

It's easy to report on SMF 43 data!

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.

SMF Type 43 Record -- JES3 Start
Offset (Dec.)	Offset (Hex)	Name	Length	Format	Description
0	0	SMF43LEN	2	binary	Record length. This field and the next field (total of four bytes) form the RDW (record descriptor word). See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
2	2	SMF43SEG	2	binary	Segment descriptor (see record length field).
4	4	SMF43FLG	1	binary	System indicator: Bit Meaning When Set 0-2 Reserved 3-6 Version indicators* 7 Reserved.*See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
5	5	SMF43RTY	1	binary	Record type 43 (X'2B').
6	6	SMF43TME	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of second, that the record moved into the SMF buffer.
10	A	SMF43DTE	4	packed	Date when record was moved into SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
14	E	SMF43SID	4	EBCDIC	System identification (from the SID parameter).
18	12	SMF43SBS	2	binary	Subsystem identification — X'0005' signifies JES3.
20	14	SMF43RSV	2	--	Reserved.
22	16	SMF43LRR	2	binary	Length of rest of record, excluding this field.
24	18	SMF43RV1	2	--	Reserved.
26	1A	SMF43RST	1	binary	JES3 start record indicator (taken from operator’s response to WTOR macro) Bit Meaning When Set 0 Cold start 1 Warm start 2 Hot start 3 Start is with JES3 queue analysis 4 JES3 global processor. This bit is always set if start is a cold start or warm start. 5 JES3 local processor. This bit is always set if start is a hot start. 6 Reserved 7 Dynamic system interchange (DSI) was invoked by operator to convert a local processor to the global processor. Bits 2 and 4 will also be set.
27	18	SMF43RV2	1	--	Reserved.
28	1C	SMF43US1	1	binary	User flags.
29	1D	SMF43NMU	1	EBCDIC	JES3 initialization deck origin type (taken from operator’s response to WTOR macro).
30	1E	SMF43ORG	8	EBCDIC	JES3 initialization deck origin location (taken from operator’s response to WTOR macro) Type Contents Location N Member name JCL in JES3 procedure M Member name Dataset in JES3 procedure U Unit address 3- or 4-digit unit at specified address (stored in 4-digit format).
38	26	SMF43PJ3	4	EBCDIC	JES3 procedure name.
42	2A	SMF43RVJ	8	Reserved	for JES3.
50	32	SMF43RVU	4	Reserved	for user.
