You can tell the secondary allocation amount from the DSCB but the primary is not kept in the DSCB for nonvsam datasets. Only the size of the first extent is kept. If you have the SMF type 15 record, a portion of the JFCB is imbedded in the record. Somewhere around offset 220 is the primary amount in three byte binary followed by one byte binary for space type and then a three byte binary field with the secondary amount. This would not help if the dataset is never opened. In that case, the amount of space allocated would be the primary amount and you can see the secondary amount in the DSCB.
I have CA-Allocate (VAM) available to me. If you have that product or a similar product, you should be able to look for the program, ddname, jobname or whatever and generate a wto message with the primary amount, secondary amount and space allocation type. This would be the easiest and surest method.
