If you are not going to use SMF-70 records, you could consider using the ERBSMFI programming service (see the RMF manual) as part of the information returned by this API includes the system CPU% busy (from MVS perspective rather than LPAR view IIRC) and page rate.
Note also that CMF provides an alias to this program as well so that any code you author for ERBSMFI should work all systems. If this does not suit your requirements - then I think you are going to have to roll your own solution. What exactly are you trying to achieve? CPU utilization figures over very small intervals are next to meaningless on their own (in my opinion) and even sustained high CPU% over long periods could be OK as long as the WLM goals are being met.
