z/OS 2.5 provides for new "extended" SMF record types >255. They have a standard type (I forgot the number) for backward compatibility, AND an extended type number (4 digits).

At each dump/off-load, I segmented our SMF records by category/interest-group and anticipated retention period to reduce the processing resources and time by not having to process record types that ere superfluous. As an example: * CICS 110.1.3 transaction detail and further segmented by region grouping 9production, development, etc) * CICS 110.1.1 dictionary records for preparation of processing the tracnsaction detail 110.1.3 records * CICs exception records * CICS DOMAIN interval records * DB2 101 * DB2 100/102 * RMF 70 and 72 * RMF device 74.1 * Security 80 * WLM 99 * Dataset 14/15/60-series And a number of others, but this set should give you an idea of ho this approach orked.
