No. Only clever people ask questions. :-) >//SMFDUMPS PROC MAN='SYS1.S0W1.MAN1' >//DUMP1 EXEC PGM=IFASMFDP,REGION=1M >//INDD1 DD DSN=&MAN,DISP=SHR >//DUMPOUT DD DSN=xxxxxx.SMFDATA,DISP=(MOD,CATLG), >// SPACE=(TRK,(10,10),RLSE), >// LRECL=32760,RECFM=VBS So few tracks? And you're doing it with MOD, so what previously filled up your dataset? How many times was that dataset used (MODded) before B37 abend? Why are you using RLSE?

Did you, as suggested, dumped that DUMPOUT and looked at the content? >What the heck am I doing wrong? Or am I off in my expectations somehow? Your allocation as seen on TSO is NOT the same as in your JCL. Your SMF89 records are smaller than LRECL, so you're probably using your space not very economically. What is the BLOCK SIZE of that output? That may cause your B37 problems. What you can do is, allocate a bigger dataset and move it to a tape/cartridge or migrate it.
