Could be a flawed search depending on your system configuration (i.e., initialized accordingly, but not present in all your SMS control data sets, etc.). Not sure about ISMF reflecting how a volume was initialized, but perhaps IDCAMS DCOLLECT then evaluating output record structures like DCVPHYST (physical status) and DCVSGTCL (storage group name) could provide what you are looking for.

As far as I can tell, I can display all volumes that SMS knows about (if CDS name and/or SG-name are provided) or I can see all volumes, whether SMS knows about them or not (if CDS name and SG-name are both blank). In the latter case, the physical data column (22) indicates CONVERT/INITIAL if the ICKDSF STGR keyword was used BUT that doesn't mean that the volume is actually defined to any SG. This is a simple matter with QuickRef option S: SMS-Ind (11) specifies YES and Storage-Group (13) is blank, indicating a volume that has the STGR flag on but is not defined in any SG. Does ISMF provide a means to accomplish this too?
