Sample output for X37UTILC used with StopX37/II

The following control statements produce a report on DASD utilization for all IBM CICS volumes and two user application volumes.

The cost of DASD storage is estimated to be 17 cents per MB per day. At least 300 free DSCBs are required on each volume. All volumes should be at least 75% utilized, and no volume should have a fragmentation index greater than 50.

VOL=(CICS*,USER02,USER01),MAXFRAG=50,MINDSCBS=300,COST=17,DETAIL=YES

The following reports are produced.

IF THE OVERALL UTILIZATION WAS INCREASED TO  75%, THEN $         75.53
