No API unless it's in FAMS. The only way that I know is to read the directory, or to use an ISPF service that does so.

I don't see it in the F1 DSCB - just DS1NOBDB (number of bytes in last directory block). It seems odd that there is this bit without more. Do you have to just read the directory and count?
