Data Set Extents (option 5.6)

Use this option to display the begin and end of the extents of a data set.

The display panel shows absolute disk extents and disk extents relative to the beginning of the data set. You can use this information for all disk functions which prompt you for the location of a disk extent.

For multivolume data sets only the extents on the selected volume are shown.

Figure 1 shows an example of DSX output.
