Re: space on I affected by reporting tools?

Well, I would think that "creating large data sets" would take space,
wouldn't you?
What I suggest you do is to run RTVDSKINF on a periodic basis. Shortly
after running it, run
PRTDSKINF RPTTYPE(*LIB) SORT(*SIZE)
Retain that report, perhaps offline. Retention will help you spot growth.
After your next "creating large data sets" you could look at a
before/after. This will tell you if the growth is in a library or
"Temporary space" or whatever.
% of Size in
Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes

Other IBM libraries 2.86 52489.14

TOTAL 99.98 1834226.56

If it is in libraries then you'll know your biggest library. If you want
to know object detail then prompt the PRTDSKINF *LIB. There's an option
to show object detail. You can also request only those objects exceeding
a certain size. Granted, a million objects just under your cutoff size
could hide but a cutoff size is a start.
