Display dataspaces alloacte for region

In the classic interface under U.K we could see the size of the dataspace allocation for the region.


I did not see this facility in the E3270.


For tracking the growth and managing the size of our utilization of data tables to is very important to look at this data frequently.

We have a very large data table implementation and have ever growing VSAM files. It is unwanted to know we ran out of space when we get the dreaded x'FE' error during datatable load processing.


Can you please port this over from the classic to the E3270 so I do not have to switch to classic to get to this data. We have many lpars with hundreds of regions. Needing to flip all over to place to get to classic screens is very time consuming and counterproductive.
