Hi - thank you for submitting this Idea. At this time we will not be able to accommodate this request. This is a very large work effort for our team to support this conversion, and would be difficult to maintain because the value could easily be changed or extended by the owner of a SMF record. We also have other products like IBM Z Operational Log and Data Analytics that rely on the original value(s) to do the analysis.
As an alternative path, you can always create a custom data stream and so the conversion on your end if you’d like. Again thank you for this Idea and if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me via email (Kekahu.aluli@ibm.com) or reply to this thread. Thanks!
