Exception data sections

The exception data section contains a single exception record representing one exception condition.

The format of an exception data record (including the SMF header and SMF product section) is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Format of an SMF exception data record
The picture shows an SMF exception data record consisting of an SMF header, an SMF product section, and an exception data section.
The format of the exception data section can be mapped by the DSECT MNEXCDS, which you can generate using the DFHMNEXC macro as follows:
MNEXCDS DFHMNEXC PREFIX=EXC
The label ‘MNEXCDS' is the default DSECT name, and EXC is the default PREFIX value, so you could also generate the DSECT by coding
DFHMNEXC

The MNEXCDS DSECT has the format shown in Figure 2.
