Hello Everyone.

Does anyone have experience with calculating data volumes in MB?

I have the task of capturing the data volume sent to files, DB, MQ, etc. I have tried using the DSODB. Volume status are not there.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you can abstract the metadata (for example to a schema file) you can readily calculate the size of each column and the number of columns. From those numbers you get the size of each row (minus transmission overheads but, if you're only interested in data volume, that's not a problem). Multiply by number of rows and you'll get pretty close.
