How can I create a Summary object to total all extents of the data sets (whether multi-volume or single-volume)

Issue/Introduction

I need to total all extents for data sets of the DTOC4SYS ('All Data Sets') object.  This needs to be able to handle both single and multi-volume data sets.  

Environment

Vantage MTC-M and Windows Client 

Resolution

Define a summary object with the following parms/settings on the Summary object definition via Wizard (this is the source code definition created by the Wizard):

1. Source object:  Data Sets for System (ALL)   -- this is the DTOC4SYS object
Sort on DSN, Ascending

Method:  VALUE method
---
Field name is Data Set Name 
---
Content:
Count=N, Percent=N
Data Set Name / FST
Exts / TOT

The most important item for this definition is to use the Data Set Name field as the 'key' for the summarization (and using the 'VALUE' method). 

Additional Information

Note:  The GENNMBRS parameter has a default of 10,000 records for a summary object, and this value may need to be changed to accommodate up to 999999 records.
