IEBGENER / ICEGENER stands to break records. (No pun intended.) :-) For 
example the longer Type 30s and 42-6's. We strongly recommended - to OUR 
customers - not to use it for chucking SMF around (except in highly 
specialised circumstances). IFASMFDP is the one to use.  (Presently I'll 
be writing up the Logger-based implementation in the SMF Management wiki 
as well as my developerWorks blog.)
