Good Afternoon. I have created a listing within ISMF on data set entries. I used listprt to create an output data set, and when viewing the totals, there was a noticable discrepancy of total kbs allocated and totatl kbs used. It appears to be reversed. The KBS used is larger than KBS allocated. I attempted several different reports and received the same results.
What in ISMF would you recommend checking to see where the discrepancy is located?

Thank you in advance

Use the Code tag to post an example of what you are saying is happening.

Is the 'allocation' field only the primary allocation? If the datasets took extents, they would exceed that.

Compare a single dataset between your listing and what appears in ISPF dataset information. There may be other fields you'll need to bring into your calculations.

I ended up using a DCOLLECT call in IDCAMS to calculate things.

I have selected several data sets and it does appear extents are calculated in the total allocation. As far as what I am seeing, I'm including a snap shot of the totals from ISMF. Could not find the code tag to attach. I have written to IBM via LINK to ask the same information, but they have not responded. Below is a snapshot of the information:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Total Space
(3) ALLOC SPACE - 5259511K
(4) ALLOC USED - 174774080015K
No. of Entries - 1408
