JCL to read SMF data

Hi,

I have a requirement to identify the userid who deleted the dataset. i know that we can extract the SMF records with IFASMFDP and Sort the record type 17 for it. However, I am not sure what would be the sort JCL and sort control statements for it.

Could you please guide me or provide a sample jcl which could extract the SMF dataset and find the userid.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Prabhath

Using IFASMFDP you can specify that ONLY type 17 records are extracted.

The link above is to the SMF record format, so you should be able to create your sort card from the fields that you want.
