sid: SUMMARY REPORT ccc COLUMN CONTAINS DATA FROM TRUNCATED RECORDS. DATA MAY BE INCOMPLETE.

Explanation

In the input data set, the RMF™ Postprocessor found spanned records without their spanning indicators. The Postprocessor issues this attention message because such records may be truncated or incomplete. ccc indicates the column in the report affected by the apparently truncated records.

During a session, RMF can generate system management facility (SMF) records that are so long that the records are spanned, that is, occupy more than one physical block. Spanned records are most likely when RMF is measuring I/O activity for direct access devices. The spanning indicators can be lost through improper copying of the SMF records.

System action

The Postprocessor continues to generate the summary report using the data available and eliminating no columns.

System programmer response

Review your installation's procedures for copying or processing the SMF records produced by RMF. In particular, make sure that the IFASMFDP program is used to copy records from the SMF data sets. See the z/OS MVS System Management Facilities (SMF) for further information.
