LSPACE statement

You can use the LSPACE statement to monitor a specified list of direct access storage devices (DASD) volume serial numbers. The volumes are scanned at regular intervals. You can use this information to track free space availability on critical DASD volumes.

You define the LSPACE statement by using the $$$LSPAC member in the amihlq.PARM data set. You can find a sample of the LSPACE statement in amihlq.PARM(CZALSPAC), which you can copy into $$$LSPAC and customize as required.
