The freeware MXI is still supported to a some degree - however I can only fix the code in my spare time and I do not have much of that at the moment!
My primary focus is MXI G2 and I am currently writing a CICS plug-in (the DB2 plug-in goes GA very soon and the MQ plug-in is going into beta test next month). As soon as I come up for air - I will try and provide a fix for the SP issue in MXI 4.3. The bug in SP only occurs when you drill down to list all of the entries for a single subpool+key combination - MXI 4.3 has a logic problem when catering for the multiple GQEs that can describe the storage in one allocated block reported by VSMLIST. As Sam rightly says, this is a MXI 4.3 issue only - MXI G2 handles this situation correctly.

If you still believe this is an area I'll try to look at at it and provide a solution for SHOWzOS.

I still do! Get it here http://www.rs.com/portfolio/mxi/download.php You do need to be aware that in the currently available MXI free version there is a bug and that some key 8 allocations may not be listed. Rob is aware and this is a bug in MXI 4.3 only - there are certain circumstances where MXI 4.3 does not correctly handle the VSMLIST return area correctly - MXI G2 handles the situation just fine. I understand he hopes to fix it in the next genlevel of free MXI 4.3.
