04 04 SMF6JNM 4 EBCDIC When SMF6INDC contains a X'1', this field contains a four-digit EBCDIC job number. When SMF6INDC contains a X'3' or greater, the job number has more than four digits, and this field contains zeroes. The correct job number is then found in SMF6JBID.
08 08 SMF6OUT 8 EBCDIC JES3 logical output device name.
16 10 SMF6FCB 4 EBCDIC FCB image identification (printer only).
20 14 SMF6UCS 4 EBCDIC UCS image identification (printer only).
24 18 SMF6PGE 4 binary For printer, approximate page count (A skip to carriage control channel one is counted as a page.) For punch, the number of cards punched. This field is filled in when a data set is completed or restarted. The count is a cumulative count which includes repeats and restarts. It does not include pages skipped due to forward repositioning of the writer.
