Using the SMF dump programs

The way you dump SMF data depends on whether you use log stream recording or SMF data set recording. See:

• Using IFASMFDL — the SMF log stream dump program
• Using IFASMFDP — the SMF data set dump program

Note that both the dump program for SMF log streams (IFASMFDL) and for SMF data sets (IFASMFDP) support the same exits. See Parameters for the SMF log stream dump program (IFASMFDL) for IFASMFDL and Parameters for the SMF data set dump program (IFASMFDP) for IFASMFDP.
