I very clearly don't work for BMC, either. :-) And it's not just 
professional courtesy that suggests they're almost certainly correct:

1) It's probably a more-or-less simple copy from the source to the 
destination - and would've been reported as a bug long ago.

2) As I indicated, the data makes sense. For example, what would the End 
User Workstation ID be for a batch job?

Cheers, Martin

Yes, the fields are not "intuitive." It is hard to predict -- or at least 
it
was for me -- what fields would be populated under what circumstances.

I am going to venture a wild guess that the BMC report is correct. (I 
don't
work for BMC, and I am not familiar with the specific product.)

I think it's perfectly valid to have a blank QWHCEUWN - End User 
Workstation Name. What Db2 connection type (QWHCATYP) and reason for 
invoking accounting (QWACRINV) values do you have?

the product we have is the BMC reporting tool. I am trying to determine if 

it is reporting correctly and what the SMF source actually contains
