Several of you  were kind enough to reply to  my posting regarding vmarchive.
My boss and  I spent this morning writing a  set of specifications indicating
how we  want our systems folks  to configure VMarchive. The  input I received
from several l-vmctr subscribers was very helpful.

It would be very helpful for planning and monitoring purposes if we could use
one of VMaccount's reports  to show us the average file size  of files on our
system, both on  temporary and permanent DASD. Information  about the average
length of time files are stored on both  types of DASD would also be nice. Is
such  a  report available  through  VMaccount?  The VMaccount  manual  listed
several informative reports,  but none seem to provide this  level of detail.

If a report with  this level of detail is not available,  then is it possible
to generate a snapshot  filelist of every file on the  system at a particular
time, including  temp disks  that looks  like a filelist.  I can  easily pull
this file into SAS and do lots of  analysis on the file sizes. I will even be
able to group statistics into  classifications such as faculty, student, etc.
that VMaccount will not let me do as easily since it has no waying of knowing
which accounts fall into a particular classification.
