DFSMS exit

[Jake anderson]

Dear All,

Are there any EXITS which would calculate the Dasd space allocated to a
HLQ.** ? Has anyone implemented such Routine just to automate the process
for various HLQ's ?

Any Pointers or suggestions are appreciated.

I thought one of the options in the new (as of 1.11) ISPF 3.4 was to provide
totals for all the datasets listed.

The "normal" way to produce space usage stats per HLQ is to post-process DCOLLECT output.

I imagine there could be some REXX out there in the freeware arena that processes DCOLLECT records - maybe try : www.cbttape.org

There are also commercial products that do all the heavy lifting for you

Absolutely correct. The only thing it cannot do is get tracks of Migrated
datasets.

But if you look at option 3.4 to the right hand side, there are a list of
selections. One that includes total tracks.

Once the list is up, try using PF11 and see what happens.

I find it always helpful to read the CHANGES panel in ISPF. It has a lot of
good information.

Also ISMF can also do this as well when you do a LISTPRT command.

Let me check LISTPRT option powered by REXX....

[Rob Scott]

LISTPRT is an ISMF internal function- I think it is unlikely that it is unavailable for external use via REXX unless the SMS/ISMF product team have released a REXX function API that I am unaware of.

I still think that DCOLLECT is your best bet especially if you want to automate it or schedule a regular batch job.

There certainly was when I looked a while back. Needed a quick hack to do
what I wanted, but to all intents and purposes was useable as-is.

No exits that I know of. We do a daily DCOLLECT and use that data in reports. We don't really care about any "high water mark" if a dataset is allocated then deleted.

I have a many years old memory of a product which used the IGGPOST00 exit to write SMF records to record dataset creation & size information, also any extensions and releases of DASD space. I think it was called KOMMAND. Memory is getting many ECC checks these days.

Jake,

It would be more helpful for you to explain what problem you are trying to
solve.

Just asking about exits may not provide you the information you really are
looking for.

There are many ways, but the best solution is designed with the problem in
mind.

So - What are you trying to solve?

Which ass.u.me.s that you have security access to execute DCOLLECT and/or security access to read the datasets created by DCOLLECT in the first place. This is not often true for ordinary mortals (e.g., application programmers such as myself).

One non-authorized method I can imagine would be to use the IGGCSI00 catalog search function (Rexx example that only retrieves the VOLUME data is in SYS1.SAMPLIB(IGGCSIRX)) to obtain the space used per dataset with the desired HLQ and then add them up. Messy, but possible.

I think that's a question better suited to the ibm-main list rather than the
assembler list. It's really more about how to do something using z/OS
facilities rather than how to use assembler language. So it will probably
get a wider audience of experts over there.

Peter,

Thanks a lot... Let me do some homework and come back to you all :) I again
appreciate for your tip :)

Have you considered the LMDxxxx service routines in ISPF? Of course, this means running your program under the TSO TMP. But it is possible even in batch.

Hi

Maybe the Sys1.sacbcntl (NAVIQuest) can do this
There is a TOTALS option to report the total space usage
