Bob : check out ISMF | Perform Functions Against Data Sets (Option 1 for me). If you "Acquire Data from Volume", then the field "Alloc Space" will give you the value in Kb (or KiBi for the purists) as per the cut/paste from the help below. ISMF reports can be produced in batch as well. (for subsequent parsing, etc.) ALLOC SPACE : The value in this data column represents the total amount of space (in kilobytes, k=1024 bytes) on the volume allocated to this data set. This value is determined by converting the number of tracks listed in the VTOC to kilobytes, and rounding to the nearest kilobyte.
