Additional Information needed in VTOC Summary Display

In ISPF 3.4 one can Display the VTOC summary by using the Option "V".
When using EAV volumes, it is not possible to evaluate the usage of the cylinder managed space distinct from the track managed space.

there are values for
- full volume size in tracks
- full volume usage in percent
- full volume free space in tracks
- track managed free space in tracks

What is missing is:
- track managed size in tracks
- cylinder managed size in tracks
- track managed used%
- cylinder managed used%

And I would find it useful, if the indicators for "SMS managed" and "EAV volume" would be displayed in the info window.

    Volkmar,

    I don't work for IBM, so I have no way to reroute this idea.

    Regards,

    Hello Tom,

    instead of requesting me to create a new, double idea routed to a different group in IBM, it would be nice if you simply would reroute this idea to the correct group.

    Regards

    I looked at this idea for inclusion in CUCI. LSPACE does not return any of the requested information. This requirement should be submitted to DFSMS as an enhancement to LSPACE. Once that's done, we can look to incorporate this idea into CUCI.
