Hi:

I need help to pick out SMF data with different offset within header section.

In SMF type 72, subtype 3, I want to get the value of R723CSRV ( 8 byte floating, 24 offset
in Service/Report Class Period Data Section).

The position of 'Service/Report Class Period Data Section' is depend on the value content in
SMF header section.

For example, the SMF type 72,:



In the first record, the 61 to 64 byte, the value is x'000001B4' (436), so the R723CSRV is in
offset 436 + 24 = 460. Then I can take the 8 byte and count the value.


The second record, the 61 to 64 byte, the value is x'000001E8' (488), so the R723CSRV is in
offset 488 + 24 = 512.

Then, the third record, the 61 to 64 byte, the value is x'000001B4' (436), so the R723CSRV is in
offset 436 + 24 = 460.

Can DFSORT help me to pick out the data?

TIA.

You show two different values for bytes 61-64. If practical for the number of unique values in 61-64, you can set up an IFTHEN clause for each unique value. Here's a simple example with a DFSORT INREC statement. Of course, you have to get the starting positions right for the VB file (including the RDW).

Frank, thanks for your reply.

It can get the result by using IFTHEN clause.

Thanks again.
