I have used MFM (Module Fetch Monitor) previously. This creates a TRACE
file (not SMF) however it had proved itself to be very useful.
It was obtained by a separate (No Charge) agreement from IBM. This
basically uses an LLA exit to capture the information required.
There was a share presentation on this in 2001.

The other options some shops took, was having their programs issue a WTO
indicating what module called what. Probably well past what you could work with
at this point.
Another option was to create a calling program, that would cut an user SMF
record to collect some of this data.
Where you are at, you might need to purchase a product, like SoftAudit, that
could do some of this analysis.
I think it would be very difficult to actually identify anything that is
executed from a LINK, XCTL, or LOAD function. Very little in SMF other than the
pgmname that can be captured. If you are asking - Can I identify when a
subroutine SUBA is called - probably not. If you want to know when MAINA is
used, probably yes
What you could do is download from CBTTAPE.ORG the utility DAF (Dataset Audit
Facility).
File # 094 DAF from Mike Cleary - Dataset Audit Facility
It can read all SMF Data and provide summary information based on
Program Name
Job Name
Date
DSN
And so forth.
I used it recently to see anything touching a specific library or program name.
It was very helpful.
You can see if DAF can help.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Any SMF statistics available for LOAD of a program?
As the subject says, are there any such SMF statistics available? We need to
know if certain subroutines are ever LOADed anywhere in the sysplex by any
batch program. We do collect SMF data, but I need to know which one may
help, if any.
I am not the systems programmer here, so I do not have access to any systems-
level SMF parameter information or operator commands, I have to request that
information from the performance team. I am just an application programmer
trying to track information down to aid an application project.
TIA for any assistance you can provide.
Peter
