    HI, SMF TYPE 30 only report on what is allocated but not report on what is actually used out of what is allocated.

    and we really need,
    SMF type30 to include on task/job level ECSA/CSA and PVT/ePVT actual usage

    thanks for your support/help on this matter. Cesar Cocco SR Mainfreame/ZOS performance Management

    IBM believes that the SMF type 30 record contains some (but not all) of the requested information.
    Do existing fields SMF30PRV and SMF30EUR satisfy the private storage aspect of this request? If not, can you explain why they are not sufficient?
    The CSA/ECSA information is not currently part of the type 30 record.
