a data set name that does not use the SYS1.MANn naming
convention.
In the message text: dsname
The name of the SMF recording data set.

System action
SMF initialization or SET SMF command processing
formats the dsname data set. This processing might
take several minutes to complete, depending on the size of the data
set. Normal IPL or SET processing resumes when formatting is complete.

Operator response
Notify the system programmer.

System programmer response
To avoid reformatting the data set
during IPL or SET SMF command processing, use the SMF dump program
when creating new SMF recording data sets.
