Non-VSAM Attributes / Chart (STGEFB)

Function:  Expands on the information in the summary report,
           identifying the range of space being allocated by
           the non-VSAM data sets within an identified group.

           Once you have identified groups of data sets with
           common attributes, it is often useful to determine
           the amount of space they represent, and the range
           of that space allocation.

Features:  Identification of size patterns within common data
           set groups can help when calculating current
           utilization or planning for future growth.

           This report can also help identify exceptional
           data sets that are improperly sized for the
           function they perform.

           Color graphics is supported.

           Generation of this report is optional, as only the
           summary report is produced automatically.

SMS
Issues:    Just as the summary report helps identify
           potential for SMS data classes, this report helps
           you determine the default amount of space that
           should be allocated by each of those classes.
           This will allow your data classes to be
           established faster, and with less chance of error.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Report Group
           Identifies the reporting group for which this
           chart is produced.  Refer back to the summary
           report to determine the group of data sets that
           comprise this report group.  A separate chart is
           produced for each summary group, so that
           allocation trends for common groups of data sets
           can be identified.

    Vertical Axis
           The vertical axis of the chart represents a list
           of allocation values ranging from 100 kilobytes
           (thousand bytes) to 50000 kilobytes.

    Horizontal Axis
           The horizontal axis represents the cumulative
           number of data sets found within each allocation
           range.  As this is a cumulative value, the chart
           line should grow longer as it moves down the page,
           representing almost all the data sets analyzed as
           it reaches the bottom.

    Other
           The numeric values to the right of each chart line
           represent the number of data sets in each range,
           the cumulative number, the percent of all data
           sets within each range, and the cumulative
           percentage.
