Used directory blocks are directly related to the number of members; not the 
number of updates. Compressing a PDS will not reclaim directory blocks.

Subject: Watching used space of a PDS

Hi all

I would like to implement a utility so to watch the used directory blocks of 
one of our frequently changed PDS libraries. Do you have any idea how to 
automate this? In case of the threshold exceedance, I will submit an IEBCOPY to 
compress in place the PDS. 


Kind regards
