Hi All,

VTOC Summary details which we can view from Mainframe option 3.4 and using Option V(Providing Volume Name)

I want to write an Automation to track few volumes space. Is it possible to grab above details using Mainframe batch or Rexx?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You can find most of that information in IDCAMS DCOLLECT 'V' Records. Post-process them w/ a tool of your choice.

I have extracted details using DCOLLECT but we have SAS/MXG in our environment to extract these details..

That's why am looking for alternate for this..

Thanks.

Hi Enrico,

Thank you. But both ISPF 3.4 Option V and extracted details using Decollect are not matching..

Example Freespace of volume ABCD12 is not matching as below

You could try Naviquest (ISMF in Batch) to list volume information. An example is available in SYS1.SACBCNTL(ACBJBAI4) which is probably available on your system.
