Hello
We have a requirement of sharing our SMF data to vendor for a sizing
operation of our hardware connected to our mainframe
Our organization has a policy of masking the critical values before sharing
it. I see SMF datasets are are editable from ISPF.
Is there a way or someone has undergone
Are these files machine or human readable? As you can edit them, I believe
they are human readable and no Hex data inside. If so, write a rexx to
translate everything a-z to blanks and write back.

It says 'Invalid record length'. I tried setting the block size and LRECL
but by default it takes as
Record length': 32767
Block size : 32760

It is a span record format probably. Rexx can read it, it you need to be
more careful by identifying text fields. I have done that with dump
masking. Maybe I still have the code

Use Fiale-Aid or File Manager if you have them available.

Most SMF records can be copied to a normal VB dataset. As I recall, only one or
two CICS records were really that big (or perhaps it is DB2, it's been a
while)? Anyway, you can select the record types that you need and the use SORT
to convert to normal VB.

You can mask any character or external decimal field by using translate
everything but a-z and 0 to 9 and check for minimum length (say, not less
than three characters) in order not to convert hex data. Now find the
positions and mask the original record. This way you do not care for the
actual val

As an alternative, you should run those programs on your systems and provide
them with the reports that you review for sensitive information.

For IBM
You talk about fields.
However user see records, not fields. Various records.
Manual editing single records with known fields is easy, however mass
change can be risky.
Note: as usually *we don't know* what is the author's need. IMHO this is
the least active person in this thread.
Without that
At the end, you mask specific fields (which are defined in records). The
method I offered is generic. The data for this logic is unstructured, and
the translation purpose is to identify possible texts and numbers the user
might wish to hide. A loop of TRANSLATE, VERIFY and OVERLAY does need
