It all depends; this is the logic for the 'V' record
which comes in two flavors, with value of bytes the
result of this code:
IF DCVCYLMG=' ' THEN DO; /* UNITS ARE KB*/
DCVALLOC=1024*DCVALLOC; /*CONVERT TO BYTES FOR MGBYTES FORMAT*/
DCVFRESP=1024*DCVFRESP;
DCVLGEXT=1024*DCVLGEXT;
DCVVLCAP=1024*DCVVLCAP;
DCVTRFSP=1024*DCVTRFSP;
DCVTRALC=1024*DCVTRALC;
DCVTRVLC=1024*DCVTRVLC;
DCVTRLGE=1024*DCVTRLGE;
END;
ELSE IF DCVCYLMG='Y' THEN DO; /* UNITS ARE MB*/
DCVALLOC=1048576*DCVALLOC; /*CVERT TO BYTES FOR MGBYTES FORMAT*/
DCVFRESP=1048576*DCVFRESP;
DCVLGEXT=1048576*DCVLGEXT;
DCVVLCAP=1048576*DCVVLCAP;
DCVTRFSP=1048576*DCVTRFSP;
DCVTRALC=1048576*DCVTRALC;
DCVTRVLC=1048576*DCVTRVLC;
DCVTRLGE=1048576*DCVTRLGE;
END;
All of the other byte-containing fields in the other DCOLLECT records
are multiplied by 1024 to convert their KB to bytes, and all
byte-containing variables in MXG are in bytes, but formatted
with MGBYTES format to print with K/M/G/ etc suffix.

Subject: DCOLLECT use of KB/MB
What does "kilobytes" and "megabytes" mean to DCOLLECT, specifically, type "V"
(volume) records in the values it shows for volume capacity, and several
related fields? i.e. does KB=1000 or KB=1024? After spending considerable
time perusing the fine manual, I haven't seen a hint.
btw, my attempt to search the list on https://listserv.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa
returned nothing for any term I tried (including 'MVS').
