5 5 SMF62RTY 1 binary Record type 62 (X'3E').
6 6 SMF62TME 4 binary Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer.
8 8 SMF62MC1 1 binary First ACB MACRF flag byte:
Bit
Meaning when set
0

1
Record is identified by a relative byte address (RBA)
2

5
Input processing
6
This OPEN for OUTPUT
7
User-supplied buffer space
10 A SMF62DTE 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.
14 E SMF62SID 4 EBCDIC System identification (from the SID parameter).
18 12 SMF62JBN 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).
26 1A SMF62RST 4 binary Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job).
30 1E SMF62RSD 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 SMF62UIF 8 EBCDIC User-defined identification field (taken from common exit parameter area, not from USER=parameter on job statement).
42 2A SMF62IND 4 binary Open status indicator.
Bit
Meaning when set
0
Component or cluster was successfully opened
1
Security violation, that is, incorrect password
2
Record is a catalog or catalog recovery area (CRA) record
3
Record is for a VSAM volume data set (VVDS) or ICF catalog being opened or closed as a data set. If this bit is set, the catalog name field and the cluster name field may be set to zeroes.
4-31
Reserved.
46 2E SMF62CNM 44 EBCDIC Name of the catalog in which the component or cluster is defined.
90 5A SMF62CVS 6 EBCDIC Volume serial number of the volume containing the catalog.
96 60 SMF62DNM 44 EBCDIC Name of the component or cluster being opened.
140 8C SMF62VCT 2 binary Number of online volumes containing the component or cluster. (This field is also the number of ten-byte fields that list the volumes.)
For each online volume, there is a ten-byte entry with the following format:
0 0 SMF62VSR 6 EBCDIC Volume serial number of the volume containing the component or cluster.
6 6 SMF62DTY 4 binary Unit type of the volume containing the component or cluster.
After the volume entries, three fields define SMS class information:
0 0 SMF62MGT 8 binary SMS management class.
8 8 SMF62STR 8 binary SMS storage class.
16 10 SMF62DAT 8 binary SMS data class.
