  Yes, I wrote a utility called GETQUO a while back and it's available for
  public consumption on my ftp server or via mail. Details below. I've enclosed
  a copy of the help file so you can see if it's what you require.

  BTW, it know works on both VAX and ALPHA!

How to get GETQUO

URL:   ftp://ftp.kcl.ac.uk/default/getquo.*	(VMS_SHARE format)

By Mail:
  send the line:
     SEND GETQUO.PACKAGE		(in the body NOT the subject field!)

  to the site:
     VMSSERV @ KCL.AC.UK

You'll receive it several VMS_SHARE'd parts.

1 GETQUO
Obtains disk quota information about a user and writes it into user
specified DCL symbols.

Format:
   $ GETQUO [/qual=symbol] [...]  [Username]
2 Errors
Error returns from a number of system services can potentially be
returned in the $STATUS symbol.

The only exception is the QFNOTACT status indicating that quotas are
not active.  The status of this (TRUE or FALSE) can be returned to
the user with the /ENABLED qualifier but the status is never
signalled as an error.

The most common errors are these:
3 RNF
%RMS-F-RNF, record not found

Indicates that a username was specified that is not valid on the
system.
3 DEVNOTMOUNT
%SYSTEM-E-DEVNOTMOUNT, Device not mounted

The user's default device has not been mounted and so the quota
record cannot be read.
3 DEVOFFLINE
%SYSTEM-E-DEVOFFLINE, Device off-line

The user's default device is off-line and so the quota record cannot
be read.
2 Examples
   $ GETQUO /USAGE=DISK_IN_USE
        Obtains the disk quota usage information about the current
        user and stores it in the local DCL symbol called
        `DISK_IN_USE'.

   $ GETQUO SYSTEM /USAGE=USAGE /PERMANENT_QUOTA=PERM
        Obtains the disk quota usage and permanent allocation
        information for the user `SYSTEM' and stores it in the
        symbols `USAGE' and `PERM'.
2 Operation
The utility locates the default login device and UIC code for the
specified user, then picks up the qualifier corresponding to this UIC
on the device.  If quotas are not enabled, zero values are returned
and the enabled flag is set to false (if specified - see the /ENABLED
qualifier).

Privileges (SYSPRV or SYSNAM) are required to see the quotas for
another user.

This version of the utility will not return values for arbitrary UIC
codes on arbitrary volumes. This will be included in a future
enhancement.
2 Parameters
The single parameter specifies the user for whom disk quota
information is required.  It defaults to the current user.

Privileges (SYSPRV or SYSNAM) are required to see the quotas for
another user.
2 Qualifiers

/DEVICE

  /DEVICE=symbol

  Returns the user's default device in the specified symbol.  This is
  the device selected at initial login.

/ENABLED

  /ENABLED=symbol

  Returns the string "TRUE" or "FALSE" in the specified symbol,
  depending on whether quotas are enabled on the volume. Note that, if
  quotas are not enabled, any quota value requested by other
  qualifiers will be returned as 0.

/OVERDRAFT

  /OVERDRAFT=symbol

  Returns the user's overdraft limit in the specified symbol.

/PERMANENT_QUOTA

  /PERMANENT_QUOTA=symbol

  Returns the user's permanent quota limit in the specified symbol.

/UIC

  /UIC=symbol

  Returns the user's default UIC code in the specified symbol.

/USAGE

  /USAGE=symbol

  Returns the user's current disk usage in the specified symbol.
