Component name in IFGRPL

When the Vsam has no more volumes, there's a need to make an extent by idcams.
To automate de idcams jcl, there's a requirement to know the component name of vsam to extent, but there's no information of that in ifgrpl. we need this information in ifgrpl, probably in RPL MSGAREA.

    We can add DATA or INDEX to the message area, or possibly expand RPLCMPON. However, I don't see how this would help automation since you can add a volume to the data set, but you would still have to close the data set, un-allocate it, re-allocate it and then reopen before you could expand to the new volume. There no other way to update the TIOT.
