Are there examples in CBT of code that do similar analysis of DASD
datasets?   Even something that does a good job at deducing
SPACE=(unit,(pri,sec)) is not as simple as one might think.


For standalone code, a RDJFCB will get you a list of the volsers a given DSN is allocated on. You can read the VTOC for selected volsers to get the SPACE allocation information for a given non-VSAM data set from the F1/F2/F3 or F1/F8/F9 DSCBs. You do not need to be APF authorized to read a VTOC.

You could also use CVAFDIR, CVAFFILT or CVAFSEQ but they are slower than doing it yourself with BSAM or EXCP reads of the VTOC.
