The data contained in SMF 38 Subtype 4 command statistics data records should be identical to CMDMON dataspace

The data contained in SMF 38 Subtype 4 command statistics data records should be identical to CMDMON dataspace,  i.e., CMDMON DISPLAY command. 

We would like to use standard SMF reporting tools to identify frequently run code by checking the 'command count' statistic by as per CNMSCSSU command. This is currently not possible as the data contained in the SMF 38 Subtype 4 does not tally up with what's contained in the CMDMON display.

    The data in the SMF records for Command Statistics does match the output in CMDMON DISPLAY command. There is not a 1 to 1 match of SMF records to a line in the CMDMON DISPLAY output. Rather there are multiple data records within a single SMF record. Each of the data records matches a line in the CMDMON DISPLAY output.
