Function:  Provides a summary of the allocated space within
           each DFSMS Storage Group within each primary
           summarization group.  The total number of data
           sets and allocated space for each summarization
           group is presented, and the amount of space
           distributed within each Storage Group is also
           displayed.  You can quickly determine the overall
           "health" of the storage subsystem, by reviewing
           the mapping of allocations for each summarization
           group across the respective Storage Groups.  The
           default value for the primary summarization group
           is Storage Class.  Generally, each Storage Class
           should map to only a small number of groups,
           ideally one to one.  When a given storage class
           maps to many groups, the definitions within the
           Storage Class should be reviewed and adjusted as
           required.

           The report format is controlled by limiting the
           number of Storage Groups to be displayed in the
           report.  This filtering is done by selecting those
           storage groups that represent at least 2 percent
           of all data sets and combining all others into a
           single definition.  Additionally, all non-SMS
           managed data sets are grouped together as well.

Features:  An additional element for summarizing and
           reporting the allocation data can be specified.
           For example, the DFSMS Management Class can be
           specified so that all allocations are mapped by
           management class within storage class to better
           verify the DFSMS definitions.

SMS        After SMS implementation, the report is useful as
Issues:    part of the ongoing monitoring and tuning of the
           SMS system.


COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    The valid data element choices for primary summarization
    key are:  STORAGE (storage class); MANAGE (management
    class); DATA (data class); and ACCOUNT, one of the
    VCAACTx elements.  The default value is STORAGE.

    An additional element can be used for secondary
    summarization.  The valid choices are:  MANAGE
    (management class); DATA (data class); ACCOUNT (VCAACTx);
    and NONE.  The default value is NONE, indicating that
    only primary summarization will be used.

    Following is a list of field descriptions for the
    summarization elements.

    Storage Class
           The name of the DFSMS Storage Class assigned to
           this data set.  A value of '(NONE)' indicates that
           no value has been assigned.

    Management Class
           The name of the DFSMS Management Class assigned to
           this data set.  A value of '(NONE)' indicates that
           no value has been assigned.

    Data Class
           The name of the DFSMS Data Class assigned to this
           data set.  A value of '(NONE)' indicates that no
           value has been assigned.

    Account fields
           These are the VCAACTx elements that were specified
           during VCA component installation.  Any of the
           defined account codes may be chosen; however, the
           report design limits the display of any
           summarization elements to 12 bytes.

    The DFSMS Storage Group, discussed below is not used for
    summarization purposes, but is used to display the
    distribution of allocated space.

    Storage Group
           The name of the DFSMS Storage Group assigned by
           the installation.  Only those Storage Groups that
           represent at least 2 percent of the allocated
           space are selected and then only the top 8 groups
           are actually displayed.  All others are grouped
           together as "OTHER".

    Number of Datasets
           The number of data sets within the summarization
           group.

    Total Space (MB)
           The total allocated space, displayed in megabytes
           within the summarization group.
