WHOH there... SMF is an issue but the MVS control blocks (especially the TSOe ones) are frozen in stone. While I would not want to talk on IBM's behalf the proverbial hell would have to freeze over before any TSO/e control block would/could be changed.

Why? Because it is easier to process XML using standard tools, of which many exist in UNIX and Linux, if the XML does _not_ include "binary blog" data. And it is easier to ftp non-binary XML to an ASCII based system accurately in order to process it there. Yes, I still want to offload processing from z/OS to Linux.

And if the SMF data themselves were kept in XML, obstacles to technological advances such as 64-bit addresses and usr iDs >7 characters would largely
be removed.
