Please add SMF type 98 support

SMF type 98 - High frequency records will provide details that help to determine root cause of short term performance issues. Our business demands consistent fast responses and delays of a few seconds can cause significant impact to the business. The SMF type 98 records would allow us to investigate these types of issues.

    In addition, adding SMF type98 will allow us to investigate other issues Lpars and address spaces related. Recently, we engaged IBM who requested us record SMF type 98 to investigate high priority business application performance issue. With SMF type 98, IBM was able to identify Z/OS local lock suspend/contentions issues for MQ sub system address spaces. We definitely need SMF type98 to be collected and keep this data stored on table(s) for telemetry and data analytics. It's very important for us to keep historical data and to put in place reporting which will allow us to pro actively monitor our production SYSPLEXs/LPARs. Quick access and reporting capabilities will allow us to have effective agile processes in place which will allow to more efficiently deliver monitoring and reporting our SYPLEX environments.

    Thanks for your help & collaboration.
