Comments
Much of the information--create date, modify date, expiration
date, file organization, file owner, record size, blocks
allocated and used, primary key information--can be obtained
from other utilities or the Command Processor. Of more
interest is the extent information: the physical location of
parts of the file. This data might be used for system tuning
by identifying the locations of major files that need to be
moved closer to the VTOC for better performance.
