Function:  Identifies common patterns that occur within your
           data set names by reporting the most frequently
           occurring values.

           This information is useful when setting data set
           name standards, when calculating space usage by
           user, when planning to move data to another
           location, or when preparing to install software
           products that base decisions on the data set name,
           (such as security or space management products).

Features:  Users in the process of establishing new data set
           naming standards can identify patterns already in
           use, and monitor the implementation of the new
           standards.

           Users can more accurately report space usage by
           individuals and departments.  Users installing
           automated products that are driven by data set can
           identify identify name patterns that allow them to
           start using those products sooner.

           VSAM files can be included in the analysis.
           Multiple nodes can be combined in one execution of
           the report.

           Report options allow analysis of up to nine nodes
           (1st, 2nd,...9th), a range of nodes, or the last
           node of the data set name.

           Approximate volume counts are calculated that will
           assist you when planning to move groups of data
           sets to different types of devices.

Issues:    The identification of common data set name
           patterns can help you classify data sets into
           different logical groups based on the needs of the
           data.  Most ACS routines will also rely heavily on
           data set name patterns when determining the proper
           class name or group name to assign.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Data Set Pattern
           The data set node(s) represented by this
           summarization.  The contents of this column are
           determined by the values coded on the report
           option screen for this report, and by the values
           found in your data set names.  The report option
           screen can be used to indicate which data set name
           node(s) are to be analyzed.  A value of '** OTHERS
           **' as the last entry in this column represents
           data sets whose node(s) were not common enough to
           fall into any of the previous groups.  The
           percentage of data sets that will be assigned to
           this group is determined by values coded on the
           report option screen.  The occurrence of leading,
           trailing, or duplicate periods in this value
           indicates that the node(s) you specified were not
           present for the data set names represented by this
           group.  For example, trying to analyze nodes 2-3
           of data set name SYS1.PROCLIB would result in a
           value of 'PROCLIB.', while trying to use nodes 3-5
           would result in a value of '..'.

    Percent of all Data Sets
           The percentage of all the data set names included
           for this analysis that had the data set name
           structure identified in the Data Set Pattern
           column.

    Number of Data Sets
           The number of data set names included for this
           analysis that had the data set name structure
           identified in the Data Set Pattern column.

    Percent of all Space
           The percentage of all the allocated space included
           for this analysis that had the data set name
           structure identified in the Data Set Pattern
           column.

    Total Space (MB)
           The total space allocated by all the data sets in
           this group, shown in millions of bytes
           (megabytes).

    Number 3380-Ds Needed
           The approximate number of 3380 Model D DASD
           devices that would be needed to contain all of the
           data sets represented by this group.  This value
           assumes that no unallocated space would be kept in
           reserve on any of the volumes, and that the data
           sets to be moved would fit exactly on the target
           volumes with no wasted space.  For practical
           purposes, expand this number slightly if you are
           using it for actual space planning.

    Number 3380-Es Needed
           The approximate number of 3380 Model E DASD
           devices that would be needed to contain all of the
           data sets represented by this group.  This value
           assumes that no unallocated space would be kept in
           reserve on any of the volumes, and that the data
           sets to be moved would fit exactly on the target
           volumes with no wasted space.  For practical
           purposes, expand this number slightly if you are
           using it for actual space planning.

    Number 3380-Ks Needed
           The approximate number of 3380 Model K DASD
           devices that would be needed to contain all of the
           data sets represented by this group.  This value
           assumes that no unallocated space would be kept in
           reserve on any of the volumes, and that the data
           sets to be moved would fit exactly on the target
           volumes with no wasted space.  For practical
           purposes, expand this number slightly if you are
           using it for actual space planning.

    Number 3390-1s Needed
           The approximate number of 3390 Model 1 DASD
           devices that would be needed to contain all of the
           data sets represented by this group.  This value
           assumes that no unallocated space would be kept in
           reserve on any of the volumes, and that the data
           sets to be moved would fit exactly on the target
           volumes with no wasted space.  For practical
           purposes, expand this number slightly if you are
           using it for actual space planning.

    Number 3390-2s Needed
           The approximate number of 3390 Model 2 DASD
           devices that would be needed to contain all of the
           data sets represented by this group.  This value
           assumes that no unallocated space would be kept in
           reserve on any of the volumes, and that the data
           sets to be moved would fit exactly on the target
           volumes with no wasted space.  For practical
           purposes, expand this number slightly if you are
           using it for actual space planning.
