SM2 output file
SM2 operation
SAM output file
The SAM output file format is logically similar to the PAM output file format.
An advantage of SAM output files is that they need not be converted before the SM2R1
analysis routine is called (see the chapter “SM2U1 utility routine” in Volume 2 of the SM2
manual [21]).
analysis routine is called (see the chapter “SM2U1 utility routine” in Volume 2 of the SM2
manual [21]).
In the OUTPUT open mode, a new SAM output file can be created or a file can be replaced
by another file with the same name.
by another file with the same name.
In the EXTEND open mode, an existing file can be expanded to accommodate further
record groups. This obviates the need to call the SM2U1 routine for merging several SM2
output files.

Opening and closing the SM2 output file
The OPEN-LOG-FILE statement opens the SM2 output file, while the CLOSE-LOG-FILE
statement closes the SM2output file; likewise the SM2 output file is implicitly closed when
SM2 is stopped (STOP-SUBSYSTEM SUBSYSTEM-NAME=SM2).

Notes
After a system breakdown or if the SM2 output file was not closed properly for some
other reason, the file must be processed with the SM2U1 routine.

The SM2 output file can exceed the limit specified by PUBLIC-SPACE-LIMIT in the
ADD-USER- or MODIFY-USER-ATTRIBUTES command, even if PUBLIC-SPACE-
EXCESS=*NO has been specified.

If the SM2 output file is already open, the OPEN-LOG-FILE statement closes it and then
opens a new SM2 output file. The monitoring programs DISK, SERVICETIME and
TASK, which write monitored data exclusively to the SM2 output file (see table
“Overview of the SM2 monitoring programs” on page 34), are not terminated in the
process.
