SMF Analysis program (SMFX37A) used with Allocation
The SMF Analysis program (SMFX37A) analyzes SMF data and produces a report on jobs that encountered a VSAM extend failure or have failed with B37/D37/E37 abends.
This program can be used to evaluate the amount of time that was lost due to extend failures and can also help determine criteria for tailoring the selection language. After determining your selection criteria, run this report for several past reporting periods and evaluate which jobs might have been saved and which jobs would have been bypassed.
The report provides the following sections:
- VSAM failures detail
- X37 abends detail
- Summary
