The IBM CFSizer webpage has no tools for helping you size your Jim, Keep in mind that the structures are for the System Logger, not for SMF. SMF uses the logstream and System Logger uses the structure. I have never seen any naming requirements for structures used by System Logger. I even started naming the Logger structures L_** to recognize them as System Logger structures. So you can name them as you like.
