You can use DFSORT or a similar program to generate a formatted report using the DFSMSrmm extract data set, activity file, or SMF records. For example, you could produce a list of volumes on virtual machine (VM) with information about volume owners. Then use DFSORT's ICETOOL utility to sort the information by volume and produce a report, complete with title and header information. Use the DFSMSrmm ISPF Report Generator to build customized reports using utilities like DFSORT's ICETOOL.

You can use DFSORT symbols for fields and constants to further simplify the report writing process. Using symbols increases your productivity by automatically providing the positions, lengths, and formats of the fields, and the values of the constants associated with the particular records you are processing with DFSORT and DFSORT's ICETOOL. See Using DFSMSrmm with DFSORT for further information.
