CICS data section

The CICS® data section can be made up of a dictionary data section, a performance data section, an exception data section, an identity class data section or a transaction resource data section. You can identify which of these you are dealing with by looking at the value of field SMFMNCL in the SMF product section.

If data compression has been used, the z/OS Data Compression and Expansion Services must be used to expand the data section before processing. For more information on data compression, see Data compression for monitoring records.
