Issue/Introduction

Question:

How do you increase the space for the SMFFLT file when running ACFRPTPP using the ACF2 ISPF panels?  When using the ACF2 ISPF panels to run ACFRPTPP Report (option 4 then 0), we get an SB37 abend for the SMFFLT file. This is a space problem.

Answer:

The CA ACF2 ISPF Interface primary menu option 4 takes you to Reports, and option 0 is to run ACFRPTPP, the SMF record pre-processor.  This option invokes the ACFPP CLIST which allocates the SMFFLT file.

Go to the CA ACF2 provided CAICLS0 library (default dataset name is CAI.ACF2.CAICLS0) and edit member ACFPP.

At the top of this member you will see:

***************************** Top of Data ****************************** 
PROC 0 PARM RPT(PP) CC() DEL() +                                             
DELAR() DELCR() DELDA() DELDR1() DELDR2() NUM(0) BADDSN() CUR() +       
DELDR3() DELDR4() DELER() DELJR() DELPR() DELSG()   /* TA7598B */ +      
DELSR() DELVR() DELZR() DELNR() +                                    
PRI(90) SEC(30) UNITS(TRACKS) +                                         DEBUG                                                              /********************************************************************/   

The SMFFLT file allocation uses the PRI and SEC values. The defaults are PRI(90) and SEC(30). Increase these values to meet your size requirements. If necessary, you can also change the allocation UNITS from TRACKS to CYLS.
