Usage considerations
You can use the _lspace REXX function with this automation control point to obtain space information from volumes and arrange a volume list that is suitable for the DEFINE. You can change primary and secondary values and you can base these on space statistics already gathered. For more information about the _lspace function, see _lspace-function.
