Writing SMF 89 records

2018-01-18 Thread Charles Mills
I seem to have this recollection that there were two ways to write SMF 89 records (not counting SMFEWTM): the IFAUSAGE macro and something that I recall as more of an HLL-callable type routine. Am I correct, or am I confused? Am I perhaps thinking of IFAEDREG? Does it write an SMF 89? Or just che
