If you have the qshell utilities loaded, try going to the root of the directory 
tree that you think may be the problem, and enter something like ls -laR > 
diskinf.txt

Use strqsh to enter the utilities if you haven't used them before.

The results will not be precise, since they give actual sizes of objects, and 
you need to round up to the nearest 8K block size to see how much space is 
actually allocated to an object, but it should give you an answer that's close 
enough to find your major offenders.

Haven't tried this, but if you have PASE and the actual korn shell loaded, you 
should be able to pipe the results through sort to quickly find the biggest 
objects.  I don't recall the syntax off the top of my head to tell sort which 
column of the output to sort by, though.

Would this show up as used disk space in the system ASP?  If it does, I know
where the monster files are.  

I've looked through the list archives and noticed that there don't seem to
be many options for the kind of disk usage analysis you can do in the
qsys.lib file system for stream files in the other file systems.  I see
there are some third party utilities available to report on IFS disk usage
etc., but it seems to me that this ought to be part of the operating system.
CHKDSK and DIR did it in a primitive way for primitive versions of DOS.
