| As far as I know, tape space is considered "never-ending"......If you run out of space on a volume, the system just keeps writing on another..... |

Hi,
If you would like to know rather the space used by some tape file, then below JCL can work for you:
| Code: |
//STEP010 EXEC PGM=SYNCTOOL
//TOOLMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DFSMSG DD SYSOUT=*
//DD01 DD DSN=TAPE_FILE_NAME,
// DISP=SHR
//TOOLIN DD *
COUNT FROM(DD01)
/*
//* |
Check the TOOLMSG & DFSMSG after completion of the JOB. One of them'll give you the LRECL & BLOCKSIZE of tape file. Perhaps that info can be of your use. |
