I have a very old assembler program, probably 1980s, that does reporting for
SMF TYPE 15 records.
It displays total tracks allocated and tracks released. I have used the report
to assist the programming staff in assigning reasonable space allocations. I
am sure with a little bit of tweaking, you could change the program to show
allocated and used. If you would like a copy, send me your email address and I
will send it to you.
