Good point. Perhaps not. You could certainly do some processing of some SMF 
records with COBOL, or you could write an assembler routine to make SMF triplet 
sections readily addressable with COBOL. Or perhaps with native COBOL -- 
doesn't COBOL now have some sort of based variable support? IANACP (I am not a 
COBOL programmer.)

Of course. Just have a good calculator ready... ;-D

With COBOL? Can you read RAW SMF records like SMF type 30 with all its sections 
with COBOL? [1] With Assembler that is easy and I have written
