It depends. It could be allocated and not getmained. The more accurate way to find out is to use:
VERBX VSMDATA 'SUMMARY NOASIDS' (For global memory) or VERBX VSMDATA 'NOGLOBAL SUMM ASID(dddd)' (For local memory) >From there you should be able to find out if its allocated or free. Look in MVS diag reference..there is a chapter on VSM. ABCs of z/OS system prog Volume 8 is also a great resource.
