Datacom version 15.1 provides several enhancements, including a new DBUTLTY function called DATASCAN.
One of the DATASCAN options is
DATASCAN OPTION=REBUILD_SPACE_INDEX
This option is an alternative to RETIX KEYNAME=*DATA. However, note that options currently documented continue to be supported.

If you previously used the DBUTLTY function
RETIX KEYNAME=*DATA,DBID=dbid,...,
you can now use the new feature available in Version 15.1:
DATASCAN OPTION=REBUILD_SPACE_INDEX,DBID=dbid,...
This function is described in the documentation:
CA Datacom®/DB uses the DATASCAN OPTION=REBUILD_SPACE_INDEX option to track the space available in a data area which is defined with space reclamation (data area space management options other than 0).
When running this function, the output is very simple. Here is an example using DBID 252:
