I'd try to outtrap an idcams on the vsam, and then parse that data. at worse, you need to add a few columns.

i would search these sites for 'outtrap' (i am not sure if I spelled it right.) avecedo often comments on these type of posts so do a search on him.

Thanks Dino.
I knew how to find the used extents for a normal file but I guess I need to make some small change for vsam.What would that be ?

Regds,
Kingo

The way I would do it is just do the IDCAMS query against the file then look at the output and then work out what I need to do to process it by a program.

DCOLLECT is a good source of information for this.
