Starting in z/OS R9, you can send SMF data to a log stream. You
will be able to separate different sets of SMF record types to
different log streams, specify different retention periods for
different log streams, and so on. There will be a new version of
IFASMFDP (IFASMFDL) that knows how to get SMF data from a log stream.
If you can hold off long enough to get to R9, this should be
worth a look. It's intended to solve exactly the kinds of
problems you're having.
