For the record, I not use SMPLOG at all. I archive SMP jobs--real ones, not CHECK jobs--for an indefinite period. I seldom need to look at old ones, but they're there if needed.

So, I understand SMPLOG data is "for me" and SMP/E will not suffer when it's lost. However I'm trying to understand what is suggested procedure for enduser: should I periodically (or just by x37 event) reset SMPLOG dataset? An answer for Q1 tells me SMPLOG will sooner or later get full and then SMPLOGA will be filled. And when SMPLOGA is full... I hava a choice to have this data in SMPOUT or reallocate SMPLOG (and SMPLOGA). Am I right?
