You have to check all three fields of the triplet for zero (at least if your logic is to work across many SMF record types -- perhaps checking offset & count is adequate for SMF 30). Any one of them zero indicates no data.
Except! For DB2 SMF, where a zero length indicates the sections are of variable length, each prefixed by a 16-bit length field. Also, some SMF records use a triplet count or last triplet field somewhere around +X'20'. Exact fields in the SMF doc. You need to check that to make sure your triplet is there at all. This is why we get the big bucks ...

The OFFSET field has a value but the COUNT field is zero. SMF30USO=000004C8 SMF30USL=0040 SMF30USN=0000 Why give an offset and length of a null segment. Weird, but I can code around it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
