Adding SMF110 field with local time

Adding SMF110 new fields with local time for :

START TIMESTAMP(TOD)

STOP TIMESTAMP(TOD)

for exemple START TIMESTAMP(TZ) and STOP TIMESTAMP(TZ) to have the real local time for start and end transaction, easier for analyzing performance of CICS transactions.

    CICS Development: This idea is being rejected because the capability already exists.


    The SMF record already contains the local time offset in field SMFMNDTO. This allows DFH$MOLS to provide parameter OPTION LOCAL to convert times to local in the reports that are generated. CICS Performance Analyzer automatically converts times to the local format.
