Reporting on Disk Files FT GAINED SPACE This is a decoded value derived from the file type indicator bytes in the VTOC format-1 record. Generally, the codes are the same as those used on a DLBL, but VSAM is abbreviated as VS; -- is displayed if the bits as set do not correspond to one of the known file types (VS, SD, IS, or DA), which can occur with initialized but never-opened utility files or in general for PIOCS files. Reported in units appropriate to the device in question (tracks for CKD devices and blocks for FBA). First, the number of logical records for that file is ascertained, and then the number of optimal blocks required. From that, the number of units is computed and subtracted from the actual number of units used, to arrive at the number that can be gained. This figure is correct for a file whose extents are partly outside the pool space being reported on, but the potential gain shown applies to the whole amount of space reported as TRACKS/BLOCKS ACTUAL (see below) even if that is not all in the pool space. Note that for sorting on the REBLOCK report the savings are converted into bytes to make figures for different device types comparable. This can result in some unexpected figures in this column, but the sort order is nonetheless correct. PERCENT HI/LO This figure can be computed in the following ways: • For under-allocated files it is shown as the percentage of the original request by which the actual amount used exceeds the original request, and has a minus sign (-) appended. • For over-allocated files it is shown as the percentage of the actual amount used by which the original request exceeds the actual amount, and has a plus sign (+) appended. On the REALLOC report the sort variable is the absolute value of whichever of the percentages mentioned above has been calculated, so that over- and under-allocated files are presented together in the output. REBLOCKING GAIN INFO The fields in this section are filled only if the file is type SD with record format F or FB, for which the record length and blocksize have been recorded in the format-1 record. For all other files these fields are left blank. RF TRACKS/BLOCKS ACTUAL This is a decoded value derived from the record format byte in the VTOC format-1 record. The formats F, FB, V, VB, S, SB, and UN are decoded. If the bits as set do not correspond to one of these codes then -- is shown. This often occurs with PIOCS files and also with continuations of files beyond the first real volume. This is reported for all files or portions of a file, It shows the total amount of space used on the real volume in question, regardless of whether it is in the defined pool space. 5–46 User Guide

Reporting on Disk Files On the VOLFID report, a summary line is printed for each volume, showing the total space used in the pool spaces on that volume. In that total, the nonpool space used by overlapping extents has been deducted, so that the total is correct for the pool. Report Samples For more information about disk space usage analysis reports, see the chapter "CA Dynam Report Examples." Volume Table of Contents—VTOCS The VTOCS report is a standard, VTOC-based DYNPRINT report supplied with CA Dynam. It provides information about disk occupancy in a flexible and easy-to-use form. Each extent of each file is reported on individually. Reports are restricted to only disk files. Specific features let you do the following: • Print the report in five different sort orders, corresponding to the variables most commonly of interest. • Report on free extents, either together with the allocated extents or exclusively. • Limit the report to an arbitrary number of files. • Restrict reporting to a generic group of volumes, or to the space in a DYNAM/D disk pool. VTOCS supersedes the older DYNVTOC report. Using the DYNPRINT report control language, up to five VTOCS reports can be produced from a single scan of the VTOCs, enhancing performance. VTOCS does not support the extra info and double-spacing options. Invoking the Report Use the following DYNPRINT command sequence to invoke VTOCS: ACCESS VTOC REPORT VTOCS [ BANNER ] [ EROPT ] [ MAXLINES ] [ MAXRETR ] [ SELECT={option[,option..]} ] [ VOL ] The SELECT options are described here. For more information about all other VTOCS options and their application, see the chapter "General Reporting— DYNPRINT." Chapter 5: Supporting Disk File Management 5–47

easy-to-use <strong>for</strong>m. Each extent of each file is reported on individually. Reports<br />

are restricted to only disk files.<br />

Specific features let you do the following:<br />

• Print the report in five different sort orders, corresponding to the variables<br />

most commonly of interest.<br />

• Report on free extents, either together with the allocated extents or<br />

DYNAM/D disk pool.<br />

VTOCS supersedes the older DYNVTOC report. Using the DYNPRINT report<br />

control language, up to five VTOCS reports can be produced from a single scan<br />

of the VTOCs, enhancing per<strong>for</strong>mance. VTOCS does not support the extra info<br />
