Hi,

Plz let me know how to find the Allocated Space to a particular dataset by using JCL.

For eg : dsn=wxx262.ank.test.dasd..
Manually, by giving a command "S" in front of Dataset, we come to know the characterstics of that particular one.

My Question :- Is it possibe via JCL, to list the char. of the Dataset.

Thanks,
Ank

Yes, but which program would you like the JCL to execute ?

Hi Expat,

I have List of Datasets 10,000 (Approx), and I need to calculate the Allocated space of all the Datasets on DASD, so is it possible for me to give all the Datsets as I/P and get the Allocated Space of Each of one.

In case of any concern, plz let me know the same.

Thanks,
Ank.V
