Hi As several people have already alluded IT IS NOT POSSIBLE to retrieve the Primary Request for SPACE as it IS NOT recorded in the DSCB.
There is no need to store this information as it is either available and used or it is not in which case the data set is not created. The Secondary Request has to be stored in the DSCB for subsequent use if the need arises. The FIRST EXTENT will only equate to the Primary Request if CONTIG were specified at allocation time. If CONTIG is not specified then the system will attempt to allocate the Primary in up to 5 extents. When LISTDSI and ISPF 3.2 are used they only report the first extent, which may only be a subset of the Primary Request.
