Thank you for that information. On the system where I have access to V6.4

The QWHC is the correlation header, which follows the standard header in the
IFI record. I am assuming you are looking at data from IFCID 3, accounting
records, which are externalized to SMF via record 101. Look at the DB2 SDNSMACS
library for the DSNDQWxx macros that map these records.

Until the definition of a token changes such that the new length is 32 instead
of 5. Changing the one macro that defines TOKEN_LEN is much easier than
searching for all instances of LARx,5 and then determining if it is process
a TOKEN, or if the value is for some other reason.

Sorry for the delayed response, I haven’t been keeping up with IBM-MAIN the
last few months. The DISPLAY MEPL is a Db2 utility command, so is not
applicable to CQM. A CQM SMP/E install will apply the load modules into TARGET
DDEF's SCQMLOAD, SCQCLOAD and SFECLOAD, so I would start there,
