Getting the Storage Group name for a DASD volume.
I am updating an old DASD management program. It does a UCBSCAN to scan the online DASD volumes and an LSPACE to get the space information from them. I also get the Format 4 DSCB.

Thanks. I've downloaded it and am looking at the source. One problem so far, for me, is that I don't really like using undocumented interfaces. I'm a GUPI kind of guy. And I can't find any IBM doc on using the SSI calls to SMS. I'll do it, but it will take a while for me to decode how SHOWMVS is actually doing the work. And how to port that portion of the code into my own code. I will likely separate it out into a separate source module as a callable subroutine. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Re: Getting the Storage Group name for a DASD volume.
Presumably whoever coded the subsys call to SMS within SHOWMVS had access to some kind of doc (or to previously written working code, the author of which had access to the doc... etc.), and I would like to know more about the doc myself. Perhaps there are other subsys calls to SMS which return useful information. I would much rather look at original doc than at working code that exploits one particular function and reveals nothing about other functions. If this doc is restricted, then how could SHOWMVS be made public?

Re: Getting the Storage Group name for a DASD volume.
True. I've used DCOLLECT in the past. In fact, we run a daily DCOLLECT in the early morning for just such reporting. My modification to the current batch program is in upgrading it, __and__ making a corresponding UNIX command to be issued from from a UNIX shell prompt. Granted, I can use some weird coding to run a z/OS batch program from the UNIX shell and then process its output. But I'd like to make a pure native command. This is just more for my learning. All in HLASM. I've gotten fairly good at it. The weirdest part, to me, is how to use the C sprintf() routine from HLASM in order to make really nice looking output. The C language calling convention is quite different. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.

Re: Getting the Storage Group name for a DASD volume.
I think the history of this runs as follows : (1) SMS SSI documentation is made available for $$$ to ISVs and not to normal customers (2) However - JES3 needs to get SMS volume info at some point - hence the minimum amount of doc and macros are distributed in SYS1.MODGEN (eg take a look at IGDVLD) (3) Some smart people look the the doc in IGDVLD and experiment and work out how the SMS SSI works (4) Tinkering and playing by various people in the 1980s/1990s including looking at IPCS dump formatting routines yield more info I do not believe the author of SHOWMVS had access to the official doc - it was just reverse engineered from IGDVLD.
