Hi All
Back again with Queries and needed help.
I have 5000 datasets which include GDG's ,PS and VSAM,
I am not finding the keywords or commands for calculating the SPACE USED by the datasets. and also all the statistics like LRECL etc.
I found something like SYSUSED but do not know how to code and execute.
Kindly le tme know if you need any more info

This actually help a bit but the question remains the same as in that post.
If I use 1 byte of data in One cylinder,the used space is one cylinder
How to get the exact and accurate space.?
Thanks |

| I think that the topic is starting to wander a little. Perhaps if we knew exactly what exactly are you trying to achieve the possibility of workable solutions will increase. |

Your statement is not accurate unless the space allocation unit is cylinders. If coded in blocks, space will be allocated by blocks. Plus you can now allocate by bytes, kilobytes, megabytes -- in which case, one byte allocated may just be a byte -- even on an otherwise unused cylinder.
So what do you consider "the exact and accurate" space used by a dataset? There's allocation and used, which are different terms that mean different things. Yet you seem to be confusing the two completely. |

| I don't want to stray too far off topic, but Robert, at one time the minimum unit of allocation was 1 track, even if the allocation was defined in terms of blocks. In other words, my understanding was that a track could not be shared by 2 different files. Is this still true or not the case anymore? |

| Terry, the JCL manual says DASD allocation is still in terms of tracks, so I stand corrected -- one track is the minimum that will be allocated. |
