To get a somewhat close guesstimate, you can drop the least significant digits to go from KB to MB, then to GB.
Thus, if you have something like 123456789 KB; then, to guesstimate the number of MB you drop the last 3 digits; thus, you have 123456 MB; then to take this to GB you drop the next 3 digits; thus, you have 123 GB; and so forth and so on. You can round up or down depending on your needs.

I am including the option of both: Acquire Data from Volume . . . . . . . Y Acquire Data if DFSMShsm Migrated . . Y My problem is that the space is calculated in kilobytes instead of tracks or cylinders. Is there a way to have ISMF do that? If not, is there a formula that I can use to convert from kilobytes to tracks? Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
