Hello,
Talk with your tape management people. They have or can get this information. |

If you have CA-1, a display of your data set should show you block size and block count. That should give you number of bytes. |

I don't have access to a mainframe, but if your Tape Management System is CA-1, there should be an option on your ISPF menu for your in-house tools. There you should find a CA-1 option. You'll need a password (even for inquiry), then key in your data set name. You'll get a screen that will display, among other things, a block size (number of bytes per block) and a block count. Multiply these 2 fields to get number of bytes on that volume. There will be an indicator if this is a multi-volume file, in which case, add up the block counts for each volume before multiplying by the block size. Also, the last block may not be full, so your file may be less than your calculation. Block size and block count are in the lower third of the screen. |

Hi Terry,
Many Thanks .. I came to know we can get volume details from our end also. But our CA-1 HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED BY RMM. So I have tried through G.R instead of CA-1 . |
