Dave,
>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 think Charles (Mills) offered some sample code that may help you (already
deleted the article).

>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.

I believe ISPF only shows the size of the first extent which may or may not
be the primary
allocation amount. You can use up to five extents getting your primary
allocation.

>I do not have any 3rd party software.

I use CA-Disk (DMS) to produce a report showing this kind of information.
The only place that I ever
found the primary allocation amount was in the job output (or jcl) of the
creating job or on the
SMF 15 record written when the dataset was allocated.

Regards,
John
