LPARNAME in SMF110 records

We would like to generate the Mobile Workload Pricing Report; we are using SMF110 with CICSPA.
But in SMF110 records we only have the SMFID field and not the LPARname (that we can find in SMF89 records)
We have no common fields between the SMF110 and SMF89 records to corrolate the informations.
We would like to have in the SMF110 records the LPAR name. I believe it could be possible as we already have the CEC machine type, CEC model number...

    Thanks Sylvie for the clarification. This is a candidate for inclusion in a future release.

    Hi Sylvie, we cannot make changes to the monitoring record format by PTFas it will break all the ISV products. It is too late for CICS TS 5.3

    Please could you clarify what you mean by LPARname. For example are you wanting the SYSNAME from IEASYSnn or something else?
