    An SMF Record is not intended to be provided, however, Change Tracker DOES provide a lot of tracking information today . If this information isn't sufficient, then please open a Requirement (IDEA) for lacking information. Also - if the format of the report information in Change Tracker is not able to be consumed today, please indicate in a Requirement (IDEA) what the ideal format is (json, XML, ...).

    I think the reference date may be better served by storing this information in the z/OS tracker data base than SMF recording, or both.
