DFSMS - Change listcat to allow quick compare of size for compressed files

When doing a quick compare of the compress ratio using listcat it would be of great benefit to have the USER-DATA-SIZE and COMP-USER-DATA-SIZE stacked and not on the same line. To do a quick compare one has to copy paste the numbers (e.g. to a notepad) to see and verify the ratio.

I would appreciate if the listcat output can be changed like below
FROM:

STATISTICS                                                                                                       
 USER-DATA-SIZE-----------------------------8095707908     COMP-USER-DATA-SIZE------------------------1261133158
 SIZES-VALID--------(YES)                                                                                       

 

TO:

STATISTICS                                                                                                       
     USER-DATA-SIZE-----------------------------8095707908
COMP-USER-DATA-SIZE------------------------1261133158 --> aligned right
 SIZES-VALID--------(YES)

    .Many clients get upset with the least change in LISTCAT format although IBM has repeatedly stated that LISTCAT is not a user interface. A better method of getting this information in the format desired is to use the Catalog Search Interface. There is also a downloadable REXX exec CATASRCHI to help extract ICF Catalog record data.
