What tools do you have available? COBOL can be used to play with the various SMF records. Vision (I knew it as DYL280) from CA also has been used as has Easytrieve. PL1 and C/C++ are other options. There may be record layouts at the CBT tape site. The CBT site also may have assembler programs that do what you need or that can be a good start.
