I would like to get a list of all the datset with a HLQ like ABCD.* with the amount of space it is using.


Output could be like

ABCD.EFGH1 123 tracks
ABCD.EFGH2 234 tracks
.
.
.
ABCD.WERT9 23 tracks


I was pretty sure that this must have been posted earlier but I couldnt find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If it's just a one time shot then do an ISPF 3.4 with your dsn mask and then use the SAVE command to create a dataset with the information you need. From 3.4 the SAVE JUNK command would create a dataset named userid.JUNK.DATASETS

Hi,

REXX will also work....

JUST Issue 'LISTC DSNAME' inside the rexx program, then catch the listing with OUTTRAP function.....

Then go for filteration of desired desired things.

Thank you tallyman. Your idea works perfectly.

I never thought of that but was looking for the JCL way from the word go.

Hi tallyman I am missing migrated datasets information.

aashish.paul,

Well if your intention is to get the migrated dataset info also then submit this job which would issue a hrecall for all the datasets. if you have many datasets that are migrated this job might run for a long time.

To help with summing the tracks used, open a spread sheet, select and copy from your ISPF screen the column of tracks, then paste into a spread sheet cell. I've used this manual method many times for summing a long column of numbers.

The total number of data sets (or other items containing these numbers) was no more than 2 or 3 screens and they were for an ad hoc request for total number of tracks. Had the numbers that needed totaling been more than that, or had the request been on a regular basis, I would've researched SORT to accomplish the task or maybe used Easytrieve. Even a COBOL program would've worked.

Thanks Terry, Kolusu I have about 50K datasets for which I need to get the space utilization. Recalling that many datasets was not a reasonable solution. When I contacted the system administer he was able to give me the information without recalling the datasets.
Apparently they already have a JOB outputting the space utilization of all datasets on the system. I would like to a peek at this JOB but I dont think they would allow that. All I had to do was copy the datasets I want to another dataset and import to excel. Thanks again.

They are probably using DCOLLECT to get that information. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r9/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r9.idai200/dcoll.htm

You can use filemanager...for catlogue. I created a proc and pass in &app. This will show Kilobytes allocated and used..
***************************
$$FILEM SCS ,
$$FILEM DSNAME="&APP*.**",
$$FILEM INCLUDE=NO,
$$FILEM ENTRIES=ALL,
$$FILEM SORTBY=NAME


For VTOC you can use filemanager as well.... I created a proc and pass in &app. Only non migrated show up in this list. This will show last referance date as well

$$FILEM DVT ,
$$FILEM VOLSER=*,
$$FILEM DSNAME="&APP*.**",
$$FILEM DATEFORM=YYDDD,
$$FILEM DSNREPEAT=YES,
$$FILEM SUMMARY=NO,
$$FILEM COMBINE=NO,
$$FILEM SORTDSNBY=NAME,
$$FILEM SORTVOLBY=VOLSER

And for migrated you can use HLIST commands...

HLIST LEVEL('RMS') BOTH ODS(RMS.ALL)

Using all three you can get a nice inventory of what is in the system. Use REXX, SAS or whatever tool you like to merge all into one. I am using this to get pictures of applications...
