The LISTDSI function populates some variables with info regarding the dataset in question. For more details, please refer to the fine manual.

In the same manner, you can use the ISPF service DSINFO.

the 3.4 option gives %used but my requirement is to find the datsets which have %used greater than 95%.How to code in rexx.The listdsi command gives information only when it is allocated in tracks.But when comes to cylinder I am not able to get the required calculation.

DCOLLECT records show the usage and allocation in Kb, but can certainly be a real pain to interpret.

Hello,

You can save the data returned via 3.4 and use it to check the %used.

Hello,

If you are in 3.4 and have produced a dataset list, you can create a file of that list by typing "SAVE my.filelist" in the command line. A file named my.filelist with the high-level node of either your id or your prefix (depending on how your site is set up) will be created. You can use this file as input to other processes to get what you want.

The "my.filelist" may be any valid dsn but make sure it is a new name rather than an existing one.
