Hi,
I am in a need to create a small subset of MAN dataset in "VSAM format". I am aware that we can dump MAN dataset using IFASMFDP and create a PS VBS file.
But is there any way we can create, a VSAM file which is exact replica of MAN dataset.
The requirement is to tune the SMF dumping job by altering parameters in the job. So in need of a MAN dataset to play with.
If I copy a PS VBS SMF file into a VSAM file with MAN dataset attributes, would it be exact replica of MAN dataset to test?
I don't have much experience working with MAN dataset, so pardon my ignorance. SMF files in PS VBS files have always been my thing Im used to.
Thanks & Regards, |

the more time passes, the more I feel that copying a smf file into a vsam file is a bad idea and won't work |

Code: |
DEFINE CLUSTER( -
CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(4096) -
CYLINDERS(40) -
NAME(SYS1.TECH.MAN1) -
NONINDEXED -
RECORDSIZE(4086,32767) -
REUSE -
SHAREOPTIONS(2) -
SPANNED -
SPEED -
VOLUME(OSACAT) ) -
DATA( -
NAME(SYS1.TECH.MAN1.DATA) ) -
CATALOG(SYS1.MASTER.CATALOG.VOSACAT) |
will work, but you will need to change the names appropriately -- and you need the appropriate security authorization, of course. Once defined, I would expect REPRO would copy the data from one of your existing files. |

Thanks Robert for your thought,
Are you saying that REPROing an existing SMF PS file into a VSAM file would work?
I would give it a try now.

I would define it, then REPRO some of the records from the current SYS1.MANx into the new file. PS to VSAM might work but I haven't tried it so I cannot say for sure. |
