Record type 76 (X'4C') — RMF Trace Activity

Record type 76 is written at the end of each measurement interval. One record is written for each field name sampled during the interval. As with all SMF records produced by RMF, record type 76 contains a header section and RMF Product section. These are followed by:

Trace Control section: Contains the number of sample sets in the trace.
Trace data section: Contains information on the minimum value of the field, the maximum value of the field, the sum of the squared values of the field, and the final value sampled from the field.
Variable Trace data section: Contains the trace values collected for each set grouped at the end of the record.

Macro to Symbolically Address Record Type 76: The SMF record mapping macro for all records produced by RMF is ERBSMFR. Its format is ERBSMFR (n1,n2,...) where n1,n2, ... are the SMF record types you want to map. Note that the parentheses are required only when two or more record types are specified. The mapping macro resides in SYS1.MACLIB.
