DB2 programs that run under the TSO batch IKJEFT01

To plan CPU/MSU consumption for batch programs, we use reports that utilize data from SMF_30, whose source is the EXEC PGM= card. Since we are executing DB2 batch programs under TSO, the program that actually executed the program does not appear in the reports; instead, the program IKJEFT01 does. Therefore, I cannot determine the consumption of these programs, only the accumulated consumption in IKJEFT01. This information is essential for planning the biggest machine consumption culprits. Without this information, our capacity planning reports are compromised, failing to highlight the real culprits.
