SMF Type 56 Record

This table shows the record layout for type 56 SMF records
(JES2 Network Integrity).

Purpose: Record type 56 is written whenever an attempt to SIGNON contains an incorrect line or node password.

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 56 Record -- JES2 Network Integrity
Offset (Dec.)	Offset (Hex)	Name	Length	Format	Description
0	0	SMF56LEN	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	SMF56SEG	2	binary	Segment descriptor (see record length field).
4	4	SMF56FLG	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	SMF56RTY	1	binary	Record type 56 (X'38').
6	6	SMF56TME	4	binary	Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
10	A	SMF56DTE	4	packed	The date when the record was moved into the SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See “Standard SMF Record Header” on page 13-1 for a detailed description.
14	E	SMF56SID	4	EBCDIC	System identification (from the SID parameter).
18	12	SMF56SBS	2	binary	Subsystem identification — X'0002' signifies JES2.
20	14	SMF56SUB	2	binary	Record subtype.
22	16	SMF56LRR	2	binary	Length of rest of record, not including this field.
24	18	SMF56NNM	8	EBCDIC	Node name.
32	20	SMF56MEM	1	binary	Member number.
33	21	SMF56FG1	1	binary	Sign-On Status Flag Bit Meaning When Set 0 Response sign-on (off = initial sign-on) 1-7 Reserved.
34	22	SMF56LPW	8	EBCDIC	Line password.
42	2A	SMF56NPW	8	EBCDIC	Node password.
50	32	SMF56LNM	8	EBCDIC	Line name.
