Admittedly my experience with Kommand is dated also. It's about 6
years
old. However, when I worked for a company that used it, the
product had
an SVC with it. This SVC trapped every request that would cause a
change in a dataset's size such as new allocation, deletion, and space
extension or release. It would then cut an SMF record indicating what
was done and the amount of DASD space involved. When you first
installed the product you would run a utility that cut the initial SMF
records showing all the space allocated by datasets at that point in
time. After that you just kept track of the changes based on the SMF
records. I felt it worked fairly well.

Interesting addition it has made, thanks for the update. How has your
experience shown about abends in the regular reporting process?
I got tired of debugging their COBOL programs. The only "positive"
thing I can say about the package is that their IEFACTATRT was
attractive in the output as it was easy to understand and the users
liked it.
