CBT Tape is a good option, either File 112, which is a VTOC TSO command, File 
343 VTOCLIST, for batch.  They should be easy to try and see if one format is 
better than the other for what you want.

Subject: VTOC reporting

We are in the process of upgrading an older OS/390 system. During a review, it 
was identified that we are using IBM DITTO for just one job and management has 
asked me to eliminate it if possible.

It is the process which lists the VTOC for all volumes and stores the report 
off-site.

The DITTO output is better formatted and lest voluminous than is given by 
IEHLIST output when using the FORMAT option. The non-FORMAT option of IEHLIST 
does not have some of the stuff that we think would be helpful in a DR 
situation.

I am looking for any suggestions that don't involve additional costs. 
Either off the CBT tape or elsewhere. Or, maybe another IBM utility that I 
don't know about.
