This is one of those things that would be a nice-to-have addition to the reply from a QUERY rdev or QUERY DASD vser command. It undoubtedly is not worth modifying the command just for this, but could be easily added when other modifications are being made to the command.
I have an EXEC that I use to extract the size of a DASD device from the RDEV and display it. I will post it if anyone wants it. Caveat: We have only 3390-03 and 3390-09 FBA DASD, so nothing has been done to verify the results on other devices.
