Too bad that what I really want is all the SMF type 30 subtypes. ICETOOL cannot 
handle them. Hum, I wonder if FileAID can. I'll need to look at that. But then 
I'll get yelled at for wasting CPU. We are in "lock down" mode on CPU to reduce 
our 4hr rolling average as much as possible to reduce our software bill. Which, 
of course, means that I likely couldn't run the IBM utility either. We're using 
Group Capacity to cap ourselves to 48 MSUs out of 66 (z9BC-T02). Management 
wants to actually downgrade the z9 to like an R02 or lower because not all our 
software vendors allow sub-capacity billing. It's getting cold here and nobody 
wants to buy any coal (calling Mr. Scrooge!). Meanwhile the govt is convinced 
that they can spend their way out of debt. Thank God for the Chinese! (and 
isn't that a weirdie, depending on a Communist government to support us?). "I'm 
so confused!" (Vinnie Barbarino / Welcome back, Kotter).
