I have a very old assembler program, probably 1980s, that does reporting for
SMF TYPE 15 records.
It displays total tracks allocated and tracks released. I have used the report
to assist the programming
staff in assigning reasonable space allocations. I am sure with a little bit
of tweaking, you could change
the program to show allocated and used. If you would like a copy, send me your
email address and I will
send it to you.

Hi
Unfortunately we do not have Dcollect for the required time frame. That is
why I am looking into SMF T15. Without too much luck I am afraid.
Thank you all for your input.
Regards

Jack, if you have DCOLLECT data that covers the time frames you are
looking at then I would go with the DCOLLECT data. The D records should
have what you are looking for. Depending on the size of some of the files
you might have to deal with several D records. But if all you are looking
for is totals by HLQ then that should not really be much of an issue.
Also, naturally it is just a point in time look at things.
In the past I would do things like create a sequential file using DCOLLECT
data with the needed information I was looking for. I would then import
that into EXCEL to create reports.
Depending on what programming language (Easytrieve, SAS, REXX, ...) you
have access to you might be able to write some code that can slice and dice
the DCOLLECT data to get what you want.

Thank you for your suggestion.
We run an hourly dcollect for storage group space analysis, and a weekly
full one for other type of analysis. Unfortunately what I need is the total
for a couple of HLQ, all sequential, on four specific dates. And they are
spread over several storage goups. And I do agree with you. SMF might not
have the answer.

Jack

I ran DCOLLECT daily (to a GDS) as part of storage tracking. I don't
think you will find accurate/useable data in SMF.

Hello Steve,
I do not know if there are backups to be restored. If there are it
will
be worth a
try. Thank you for the suggestion.

Jack,
I might be missing something here, but do you have backups of the
datasets from when you want space information? If so, you can
restore datasets (ADRDSSU or equivalent) and then measure usage
using standard tools - ISPF, ISMF, etc.
Possibly I'm misunderstanding but perhaps this is quickest way
forward
vs.
reading SMF records.
If have to go SMF records and have SAS/MXG that might be quickest
way forward.
Thanks,
