If your storage admins don't have ISMF setup to be publically accessible, ask them to. The inquiry functions are useful. (And if you're brave enough, it can run large inquiries in batch (see NaviQuest).) If the data set is SMS compressed, a LISTCAT on the dataset will show it's compressed and uncompressed size in bytes in the COMP-USER-DATA-SIZE and USER-DATA-SIZE fields. Some third party products like FDR report and CA-DIsk can report on the dataset's size.
