Good idea, if you can give your records to be selected via a command (T SMFJOHN=xx ;-D ) or something like that, I would be in for it. Perhaps a new type of subsystem? Or if you could use XCF and use then something to extract SMF records the same way as LOGREC records? Anyway, for message processing (on consoles/syslog), I know you can squeeze some message processors somewhere to intercept/rewrite messages. I imagine you could perhaps do the same for other type of data, like SMF. Rest assure, for me you have parked your idea in an excellent place! ;-D This is what IBM-MAIN is for: sharing ideas to be used or shot down... ;-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
