DCOLLECT does in fact capture MGMTCLAS and most other SMS construct information from the VVDS portion (VVR/NVR record, DFSMS cell info) of the catalog structure.
The DFSORT team, led by Frank Yaeger, provides a utility set to generate reports using the DCOLLECT-generated output, at http://ibm.com/storage/dfsort. Also, there are similar REXX routines available, such as the CBT at http://cbttape.org. Software products such as MXG, IBM Tivoli (TDSz and ITUAM, previously CIMS) can generate management reports from the DCOLLECT data; CA MICS has a proprietary DASD collector utility, and MXG and CA MICS do require SAS.

It will however gather info from all the online volumes and the DFHSM control datasets for all migrated and backed up data. DCOLLECT OFILE(OUTDS) VOL(*)BACKUPDATA MIGRATEDATA <snip> Will DCOLLECT gather data on all management classes in use from the catalog (i.e. including migrated datasets)? I suspect I have several management classes which aren't in use, inherited from someone's previous work, and I'm looking for a good "safe" way to clean up. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
