Specifically, it's in DFSMS Managing Catalogs.

Does the OP want to know the space requested for the dataset, or the space
used by a dataset? E.g., do you want to be able to determine that the
dataset was allocated SPACE=(TRK,(5,2)) or that the dataset now occupies 9
tracks?

CSI will return the former. The DSCBs will let you compute the latter.

Have a look at the Catalog Search Interface (CSI) in the DFSMSdfp
manuals.
