48 30 SMF69NUC 2 binary Number of unallocated cylinders in all of the data spaces on the volume.
50 32 SMF69NUT 2 binary Number of unallocated tracks in all of the data spaces on the volume in addition to the number of unallocated cylinders.

54 36 SMF69LNT 2 binary Number of tracks (in addition to the number of cylinders) in the largest continuous unallocated area in any data space on the volume.
56 38 SMF69CNM 44 EBCDIC Name of catalog in which the data space is defined.
100 64 SMF69VSR 6 EBCDIC Volume serial number of the volume on which the data space is defined.
