IOSUB Defines data gathering for the I/O subsystem and for channels.

Monitor III creates two types of records:
Set of samples
These records are written into the local storage buffer and (if specified on the DATASET option) into VSAM data sets.
SMF records
These records are written if defined in the SMFPRMxx Parmlib member.
You find detailed information about all record types in Activity monitoring.
