You ask which fonts are used but intend to remove font libraries. Individual fonts are members of the various font libraries. SMF may tell you which libraries are opened and the I/O statistics for each but I do not see any data for members except in record 42 which covers only adding, deleting, and renaming members.
While record 6 does contain some font names in SMF6CHR, it does not appear complete nor does it contain the name of the library the font came from. Even if you manage to find a font (or a library) that was not used during the time period you examined, what assurance do you have that it is not used by some important but infrequently executed task? I don't know VPS but on my system (AFP and PPFA) all the used fonts were specified in the various PAGEDEFs we used. That might be a place to start. What is the real problem you are trying to solve? Since LNKLST, LPA, APF, and the ISPxLIB concatenations likely also have libraries and members that are not actually used, why are you focusing on fonts? :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On :>: Behalf Of Roger Lowe :>: Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2014 10:32 PM :>: To: [email protected] :>: Subject: Which fonts are being actually used? :>: :>: Hi, :>: Running z/OS 2.1 and have the consolidated font lib available.
