Summary Reports support to write zOS SMF-Records directly

SMFSUBSYS/SMFTYPE/SMFINTERVALL
configuration per summary report, just like an adabas-nucleus

Today, several reports are written to Rev-Switch datasets. This data must be continuously merged using UEXIT triggers, which trigger jobs in our scheduling env to add data to genDS. Once a day, the data of the whole day processed using Natural programs and displayed via the less common 3270 interface.

As part of our monitoring modernization, we want to consolidate these 12 different reports into 4 and "simply" distribute all data via SMF LogStreams (data targetting: Zappix|Prometheus|Alloy ... Grafana).

    to make the stuff temporarily (dirty) configureable, you might use the wellknown classic "hidden SAG Parm" feature pattern:


    ------ History ---------+
     History ............ X !
     History Int ... ____15 !
     History DBID ... __230 !
     History FNR .... _____ !
     History SVC ...... ___ !

    as soon as history(Y|N) is 'X', SMF records will be created/written/sent and the other parms (Int, DBID, ...) are "misused"

    - "Int" becomes SMF interval
    - "DBID" becomes SMFTYPE

    autostart definitions example would look something like:
    REPORT  TYPE=SUMMARY,TITLE='CMDS-OK',INTERVAL=2,SMFTYPE=231,SMFINTERVAL=<GLOBAL|SUBSYS|minute>
            DISPLAY DATE,HOUR,INTERVAL,DBID,NUCID,JOBNAME,NATPROG,FILE,CMD
    SUM     COMMANDS,TOTDURA,NATEXEC,IOS,DATAIO,ASSOIO,WORKIO,ISNQ
    INCLUDE RSP=(0)
    

    REPORT  TYPE=SUMMARY,TITLE='CMDS-NOK',INTERVAL=1,SMFTYPE=232,SMFINTERVAL=<GLOBAL|SUBSYS|minute>
            DISPLAY DATE,HOUR,INTERVAL,DBID,NUCID,JOBNAME,NATPROG,FILE,CMD,RSP,RSPSUB     
    SUM     COMMANDS                                                          
    INCLUDE RSP^(0)
    

    

    REPORT  TYPE=SUMMARY,TITLE='SIGNAL-ERR-ALL',INTERVAL=60,SMFTYPE=233,...
            DISPLAY RSP,RSPSUB,ERRFLDNM,CMD,FILE,DATE,TIME,JOBNAME,NATPROG,UBUID,TRANSID,NATUID,ISN,ISNQ,OP1,OP2,NATSTMT,L3DE,DBID,NUCID
    INCLUDE RSP^(0,3,9,113,145)
    

    REPORT  TYPE=SUMMARY,TITLE='SIGNAL-INTERVENTION-REQ',INTERVAL=6,SMFTYPE=234,...
            DISPLAY RSP,RSPSUB,DATE,TIME,FILE,CMD,JOBNAME,NATPROG,TRANSID,UBUID,NATSTMT,NATUID,DBID,NUCID
            INCLUDE RSP=(9,113)
