RE: DASD USAGE UTILITY

[Tim Shepherd <tshepherd@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would agree with Jerry, RTVDSKINF and PRTDSKINF are very useful especially if 
you do not have any other package doing the work for you. (and it's free!!! 
(sort of!)).
We use a locally written product which does this and lots more (can RGPFM, 
CHGOWN etc, etc), and I believe they are about to go international, called 
MERCURY/DMA (Disk Manager Assistant). They also have another product 
MERCURY/RMA (Resource Manager Assistant) which reports of overall machine 
performance. I find both products very useful. If anyone is interested I could 
find out more info on their international partners and when it will be 
available.

Hey people:

Using QSECOFR, the problem is not security, lock, access etc because this
utility was run on a dedicated system.  For one, I have 295 libraries on the
system and 85 of them are empty.  All 210 remaining libraries reported
correct sizes.  The output since 8/24/99 has been accurate as far as
individual lib sizes and daily size changes.  I'm leaning towards
unavailable QTEMPs but not after IPL and a dedicated system...  Currently
I'm going to try Jerry's suggestion about RTVDSKINF.  Anymore clues or
suggestions?
