This has been a frustration for us too. Somehow the client is able to get this information efficiently, so when I've needed it I've just piped "dsmc q b -su=yes ina" to some awk/perl to get the information I need. Obviously this is only good for ad-hoc queries, not for anything that's going to be done regularly.
In an ideal world, "q occ" would display the active/inactive counts.
