The command you are looking for is DEVSERV i believe. Try: DEVSERV QDASD,<unit address> Or: DEVSERV QDASD,? DEVSERV (abbreviation DS) is indeed the command, but QDASD,<unit address> will not reveal the cache size, CFW or DFW status. PATHS (abbrev. P) is the DS operand that reveals the CFW and DFW status. To see the cache size, do a DS QD,<device number>,SNSS to get a hex display of the 44 bytes of Sense Subsystem Status info in groups of eight bytes. See any control unit reference book for the meaning of all 44 bytes. The configured cache storage is in bytes 10-13, available cache 14-17, pinned cache 18-21, offline cache 22-25, configured NVS 28-31, pinned NVS 32-35, etc. I just did this command and got this display: 00004001000000C0 0000600000006000 etc. etc. Bytes 10-13 (decimal numbers here) contain X'60000000', which is 1.61 GB (where 1 GB = 10 to the 9th bytes) or 1.5 GB (where 1 GB = 2 to the 30th power). Now you see why IDCAMS LISTDATA is easier, or an interactive ISP like TMON/MVS is a lot easier.
