You're right: ISPF has it, and you should be able to get it the same way, but you can't. Why not? For the answer, search the archives for FAMS.

I want to run in a batch Assembler program. Possibly provide a DSN as input and return information as close to as possible that is returned from ISPF's Dataset Information screen. I had been looking at DSCB and came to the same conclusion about the primary space. I can total the tracks used through the extent list to get the space used and get the secondary space requested, just not the primary requested. I don't believe I could always find the SMF record. I refuse to admit that this is not kept handy somewhere. ISPF's "Dataset Information" has it, why can't I. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
