Enhance Report of IFASMFDL

IBM Redbook SG247919 includes three SMF user exits SMFDPUX3, SMFDPUX2 and SMFDPUX1 which show a much more detailled report of the records dumped as the standard record does. The report includes the subtypes and the system ID where the record came from as well as the start and end date and time for the first record and the last record of the specific smf record to be dumped. This is extremly helpful when analyzing what record (subtypes) are dumped. As the maintainer of these exits is no more available to fix errors in the exits I would like to ask the development to include this functionality into the standard IFASMFDL reports. I attaced a file with the reports for an input LSNAME and an output LSNAME to show what details are shown in the exits above.
