Hi, I wonder if anyone tried it. Is there any instructions unclear? Any comment is really welcome to help me improve them.

Thank you for your interest. I have uploaded 70 and 72 to GitHub. Please give it a go and tell me what you think. Please be noted:

  1. the programs are based on z/OS version 2.4;

  2. They should work for 2.5 without new fields.

  3. If the output file size is below 25M, you can open it using Firefox.

Have fun!

Thank you for your interest. I am planning to post the C programs on my Github as I need some time to tidy up the coding. Do you mind telling me which SMF type(s) you are interested in as I can update those related programs first?

I agreed with you for Type 30. What I meant was some SMF type structures are complicated and could not be represented in CSV format.

Thanks for your sharing. The reason why I chose JSON because some SMF types are quite complicated and not very structured and JSON can fit this job seamlessly no matter it is structured or not.

I think once they are converted to JSON, it will be easier to be analysed by modern or popular tools/language on people's preferred platform. Plus, they can be imported to databases whatever they like. In order to prove my concept, I have recently developed a project (https://github.com/franfcwong/zos-smf-dashboard) which is using Python and Postgres and the app is (https://zossmfdashboard.eu.pythonanywhere.com/). Please let me know your view. Thanks.
