As EXECIO got mentioned...
In the Munich System z Technical University conference 2 weeks ago Marna
Walle mentioned that in z/OS 2.1 EXECIO is previewed to perform I/O to VBS
(as in "Spanned" :-) ) data sets.
To me that says "SMF". And removes one "lameness" in EXECIO.
That's fab! when will it support VSAM?
It would be nice to prototype some SMF processing in REXX. On my October
residency I'll have a 2.1 system so I'll actually be able to try it.
(And in case you wonder, I'm not particularly a fan of REXX but I prefer
it to its predecessors - on VM and MVS - and the unsupported-for-15-years
product I use daily puts data in REXX stem variables...)

And I thought Dave was quicker on the up-take than that .... ;-)
But his recommendation(s) need serious consideration.
Lua - yet another "language" to maybe have a look at. I seem to have about
half a dozen already "half-looked" at.
