the internal copy in the data base gets updated/created on the fly (as a volume's status changes) BUT to cut the external file use the "backup volhist" command from either an admin session or an admin schedule. The "backup volhist" command will write the internal table to the file specified in the dsmserv.opt (or to a file or files specified via the optional parameter of the backup volhist command) How often/when it gets written to the external file automatically, I don't know off the top of my head.
