I'm not sure what might be causing your problem, but have you thought of
eliminating the DBUTIL step altogether?  If you're already using MPEX, you
can do something like:

     % listf @[log in to unmask]@(intcode=-400),6  > temp         (list root files, fully
qualified, to a temp file)
     % listf ^temp, db   > outfile            (pass temp file to "listf,
db")
     <scan 'outfile' for capacities>

to get a capacity listing.  You could also do this in one step by "or"-ing
all the possible INTCODEs (-401=std dataset; -408=jumbo chunk control file;
-409=jumbo chunk file, etc.), but this could conceivably miss a new dataset
type.

Subject:  Strange output from DBUTIL




Hi there DB Gurus!
I am experiencing some strange output from DBUTIL when trying to capture
dataset capacities.
Here is what I'm doing:
1.  Using MPEX to get a listing of all Image root files on a system
2.  Using this list as input to DBUTIL to create a list of all datasets
capacities on a system
3.  Piping this list to a scanning utility to perform predictive expansion
on datasets.
This at least is the goal! It is not feasible to create "creator" access to
the database with QUERY, so I am using the MANAGER.SYS and DBUTIL SHOW
<database> CAPACITY approach, because this must work with several thousand
database on many widely distributed network nodes.
My problem is that when I use the SHOW <database> CAPACITY command from
MANAGER.SYS, I <sometimes> get a message that the specified account name is
too long ( it isn't, it's only 7 characters!). I can get in using QUERY and
do a FO SETS, because in some instances I know the available passwords.
HOwever, Each site is able to change things to suit themselves, and I can't
always do this.
Anybody else ever encountered this strange behavior? Am I overlooking
something "Duh"ish? Is this merely a Monday Morning Manifestation?
Your help is eagerly solicited!
