Hello,

Run a listvtoc for the volumes you are interested in monitoring.

If you want to look at a/some volumes only once in a while, you can use tso/ispf 3.4, specify V and the volser you want to monitor. This will be returned:
                                                                             
Unit . . : 3390

Hello,

LISTVTOC is part of the IEHLIST utility. You can submit a job to list the vtoc (Volume Table Of Contents) for the volser(s) you want to see.

This link is to the listvtoc part of the utility manual.

Please clarify what administrator means for this use. To do what you want, you can use tso/ispf or a batch job. The system console is should be used for other uses.
