Printing SMF records

You might occasionally find it necessary to print the SMF records RMF produces. Printed records are useful, for example, when designing and implementing a user-written record processing program or when diagnosing problems with RMF reports. There are two ways to print the records:

  • The standard utility program IDCAMS - it can print all SMF records in dump format.
  • The RMF utility program ERBSCAN running under ISPF - it can format all SMF/RMF records in record-type-specific sections.
