Richard,
Sorry.
The error msg was:

tsm: ABZBKUP001>SELECT STGPOOL_NAME AS " STORAGE POOL ",

ANS8001I Return code 3.


And right enough, I'd entered it as one line. I tried again with the
continuation characters and it errored out, then I tried chaning the
est_capacity to 7 as suggested, but got the same error:

And the error was... ?

The Select is tried-and-true, and works well.
Perhaps you tried to string the whole command out on one line, rather
than using continuation characters so that the length of each physical
line was less than the 256 char maximum?

Below is the Select in its original macro form, which includes
continuation chars. (I wish I could send it as an attachment, to assure
format preservation, but the ADSM-L listserver is configured to reject
such attachments.)
