The COMPUTE REXX
(http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?COMPUTE) and
TABULATE REXX
(http://www.vm.ibm.com/download/packages/descript.cgi?TABULATE) stages
for PIPELINES are very handy for the kind of manipulations you need to
do for this data. I do hope you can run pipelines one way or another.

Hello Lizette,
Thanks for the suggestion. We have CA GMI in place.
I prefer a REXX-based solution here because it'll be plugged in to solve a
bigger puzzle.
Totals, Used, and Free data are obtained from ISMF and fed into a Spreadsheet
frequently to capture the growth/decline in usage of disks by storage groups.
And then estimate future growth.
I'm trying to achieve this via WPS and MXG and save a bunch of manual entry.

If you have CA Product(s) like
CA 1
CA ASTEX
CA CREWS
CA Datacom/DB
CA Disk
CA Encryption Key Manager
CA IDMS/DB
CA MasterCat
CA PDSMAN
CA SYSVIEW
CA Tape Encryption
CA TLMS
CA Vtape
Then you can install the "lite" version of SRM or Vantage called GMI. This is
fully supported by CA.
CA Graphical Management Interface (CA GMI).
Several CA products support CA GMI. These are referred to as CA GMI qualified
products. If you have a license for one of the CA GMI qualifying products, then
you can order and install CA Vantage GMI on the host and its user-interface
clients separately, free of charge. CA Vantage GMI cannot be ordered separately
unless you have a license for one of the CA GMI qualifying products.
This may be more helpful to your storage admins than ISMF.

Subject: ISMF data in batch using REXX
Hi,
We're using the "totals" REXX to provide a summary for a storage group
opened up
in ISMF. Example output is as follows:
Totals for 1 volumes: (15 volumes had missing info.)
Capacity: 8.31 GB Allocated: 5.69 GB (68%) Free: 2.63 GB (32%)
***
I'm also trying to get the same information using NaviQuest -
ISMF.11.7.1,
and then
"Create Storage Group List and Generate Report". Example output
(formatted
visually) for same storage group:
SG TOTAL FREE
USED
PERC
-------------
D1SOLVE 8.12 GB 2.568 GB 5.552 GB
31
NAVI MB
The difference in results increase as the number of volumes increase.
I've tried RXSMS - http://gsf-soft.com/Freeware/RXSMS.html
It lists volume information (output lines) for even just the entries
in
ISMF. Needs
some REXX to process this output ...
How do I work around this please?
