Header/self-defining section for PSF

This section contains the common SMF record headers fields and the triplet fields (offset/length/number), if applicable, that locate the other sections on the record.

Offsets Name Length Format Description
0 0 SMF6LEN 2 binary Record length. This field and the next field (total of four bytes) form the RDW (record descriptor word). See Standard SMF record header for details.
2 2 SMF6SEG 2 binary Segment descriptor (see record length field).
4 4 SMF6FLG 1 binary System indicator:
Bit
Meaning when set
0-2
Reserved
3-6
Version indicators (see Standard SMF record header for details)
7
Reserved.
5 5 SMF6RTY 1 binary Record type 6 (X'06')
6 6 SMF6TME 4 binary Time since midnight, in hundredths of a second, that the record was moved into the SMF buffer. Before the SVC 83, PSF fills in this field via SVC 11 for use with PSF exit 5.
10 A SMF6DTE 4 packed Date when the record was moved into the SMF buffer, in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for details. Before the SVC 83, PSF fills in this field via SVC 11 for use with PSF exit 5.
14 E SMF6SID 4 EBCDIC System identification (from the SID parameter).
18 12 SMF6JBN 8 EBCDIC Job name (taken from job's RESQ). The job name, time, and date that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job) log identification, or transaction name (for APPC output).
26 1A SMF6RST 4 binary Time, in hundredths of a second, that the reader recognized the JOB card (for this job).
30 1E SMF6RSD 4 packed Date that the reader recognized the JOB card for this job, in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for details.
34 22 SMF6UIF 8 EBCDIC User-defined identification field (taken from common exit parameter area, not from USER=parameter on job statement).
42 2A SMF6OWC 1 EBCDIC SYSOUT class (this field is blank for non-SYSOUT data sets).
43 2B SMF6WST 4 binary Start time, in hundredths of a second, of output service working on the data in this record. This field is filled in at JES3 LOGIN time for the writer job.
Note: The timestamps should not be used to determine printer utilization.
47 2F SMF6WSD 4 packed Start date of output service working on the data in this record, in the form 0cyydddF. See Standard SMF record header for a detailed description. This field is filled in at JES3 LOGIN time for the writer job.
Note: The timestamps should not be used to determine printer utilization.
51 33 SMF6NLR 4 binary Number of logical records written by the writer. (This field is filled in when a data set is completed or restarted; it includes repeats and restarts). This field is non-cumulative across interrupts.
55 37 SMF6IOE 1 binary I/O status indicators
Bit
Meaning when set
0-4
Reserved
5
Data buffer read error
6
Reserved
7
Control buffer read error.
56 38 SMF6NDS 1 binary Number of data sets processed by the writer and included in this record. If multiple copies are produced, each copy is counted.
57 39 SMF6FMN 4 EBCDIC Form number — only the first four bytes appear in this field. This value is taken from the last SETUP message or from the FORMS parameter of the OUTPUT statement for the user data set.
61 3D SMF6PAD1 1 binary Section indicator
Bit
Meaning when set
0
Non-impact printing subsystem section present
1
Common section present.
2
All-points-addressable (APA) printing subsystem section present
3
Enhanced SYSOUT support section present
4
File Transfer section present
5-7
Reserved.
62 3E SMF6SBS 2 binary Subsystem identification — X'0007' signifies PSF.
