It may be that there are commands that can be used that do not require
displaying host storage. What are you trying to accomplish? If you are
looking for total and remaining space available, for instance, the
response to QUERY ALLOC may be all that is needed.
q alloc spool

This can be processed by a pipe or if detailed information is desired,
or if all you want is to know totals,
parse value diag(8,'Q ALLOC SPOOL') with 'USABLE' tot inuse .
gives the values.
You get similar results for Q ALLOC PAGE or TDISK.
I have used host storage displays in the past but have found them to
sometimes be problematic when migrating to new releases, while the
documented command responses tend to be more change resistant and,
therefore, make it easier to maintain the EXECs.

Alyce,
The HOST storage display under z/VM 5.n have an "HL" prefix:
<<< snip >>>
d h20000.20
HL00020000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 04 R00020000
<<< snip >>>
In previous releases, the prefix was only "H" ... I'm sure the "L" is
what's causing your EXEC to fail in this case.

Subject: Exec errors
Hello,
I'm trying to run some execs to check spool, rdr and print files
on my test z/VM 5.2 system and this is what I get:
SPOOL CONS * START
CHECKPRT
11 +++ SPAV = X2D(SUBSTR(DIAG(8,'DISPLAY H'D2X(PGDSP+AV)),12,8))
DMSREX475E ERROR 40 RUNNING CHECKPRT EXEC, LINE 11: INCORRECT CALL TO
ROUTINE
READY(20040); T=0.01/0.01 10:39:19
CHECKSP
10 +++ PGAV = X2D(SUBSTR(DIAG(8,'DISPLAY H'D2X(PGDPG+AV)),12,8))
DMSREX475E ERROR 40 RUNNING CHECKSP EXEC, LINE 10: INCORRECT CALL TO
ROUTINE
READY(20040); T=0.01/0.01 10:39:22
CHECKRDR
11 +++ SPAV = X2D(SUBSTR(DIAG(8,'DISPLAY H'D2X(PGDSP+AV)),12,8))
DMSREX475E ERROR 40 RUNNING CHECKRDR EXEC, LINE 11: INCORRECT CALL TO
ROUTINE
READY(20040); T=0.01/0.01 10:39:25
They work fine on my z/VM 4.4 production system.
Any ideas what I need to change to get them to
work on z/VM 5.2?
Thank for your help,
Alyce
