SMF records will show you how many extents the dataset has used. From that it's easy to assess whether you are likely to be running out of space any time soon.
That's the approach I have used in a couple of different sites. Pick a percentage, say 50% or 75%, and if 's using more than that % of the maximum possible extents it could have, raise an alert.
Note that the SMF record will also show you how many volumes it can extend across. So, if the volume count is 5, you know that the dataset could have 80 extents, for example.
