Caveat: I get the daily digest so responses are delayed... From the SMF book, I find the following lines in the preface/description for SMF 74 records:
Notes: 1. All fields with format s_float have the type short format floating point. 2. All fields with format l_float have the type long format floating point. I presume you'll need to consult the PoOps manual for a more detailed description. Now, what to *do* with them, I can't help tho' I see that John's provided some advice in that respect. --------> signature = 6 lines follows <-------- Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee “How *do* you plan for something like that?” Guardian Bob, Reboot “For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.” “Systems Programming: Guilty, until proven innocent” John Norgauer 2004 -----Original Message----- From: Dr Rick Williams [mailto:dr.ri...wil...@gma...com] Sent: July 25, 2013 15:39 Subject: SMF, Assembler, s_float, l_float, float Examples I have a prohram that prints some specific SMF data, that I use for charting & graphing. I am running into some SMF fields that are listed in the SMF manual as s_float, l_float, float ... my assumption is that these are hex float fields? A good example can be seen in the SMF 74(5) records. I was wondering if anyone out there had some examples of assembler code where they converted these fields to standard EBCDIC 1,234.56 format.. I am finding some very complex methods, but dont really need to actively add, multilpy, or devide,, just convert .. Any assistance and/or advise would be greatly appreciated! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
