Thank you peter. You are correct and this was entirely my mistake. I (incorrectly) assumed that if an offset and length existed for a SMF30 segment that there must be at least 1. WRONG, I need to check all three for non-zero values. With the SMF that I've processed so far over the last couple weeks, the zEDC Usage Statistics Section is the only one that I've encountered that has an offset and length and a zero count. Anyway, I was incorrect and have since updated my code.
Thanks again Peter and all those who pointed out my error. Dan The fields you show look to me as if they partly contain EBCDIC data. E.g. the first field has x'E2E3C5D7' which is c'STEP'. Has there been any zEDC compression in that step? If not, the section is not there and you are looking at random data. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
