Command to display how much full is SYS1.LOGREC dataset (in given moment)

Dear IBM Team,

there is now way how to find out how much occupied is SYS1.LOGREC dataset (in DSLIST 3.4 it always shows 100 %, so this is not relevant). There is just warning message IFB080E once it is 90 % full and then message IFB081I once it is 100 % full.

And as we cannot easily display the level of occupancy by any command, this means we always need to check syslog / joblog to see if EREP offload job was running and if it was running successfully, and this take some time. Also, it can be pb in new / unknown installation (where we don't know the name of EREP offload procedure).


Can you pls add this possibility somehow into z/OS system? Maybe you can modify output of cmd "D LOGREC" so that it would also display how much full is SYS1.LOGREC at the given moment? That would be really helpful. Thank you.

Best regards,
Roman.
