6 6 SMF64TME 4 binary Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
10 A SMF64DTE 4 packed Date when the record was moved into the SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for a detailed description.

18 12 SMF64JBN 8 EBCDIC Job name.

The job name, time, and date that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job) constitute the job log identification, or transaction name (for APPC output). consists of the job name, time, and date that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job).

26 1A SMF64RST 4 binary Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job).
30 1E SMF64RSD 4 packed Date when the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job), in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for a detailed description.
34 22 SMF64UIF 8 EBCDIC User-defined identification field (taken from common exit parameter area, not from USER=parameter on job statement).

Note:
  1. If SMF64RIN=X'01', there will be no extended information written for this record (SMF64ESL). For more information, please review APAR OW56162 (for hdz11f0 and hdz11g0 users). For diagnostic purposes, VSAM EOV writes an SMF64 record when there is a record management catalog update request.
