Re: Convenient way to list contents and space consumption for an IFS directory?

EDTF (and DSPF) are a couple of the best kept secrets on our favorite machine. One of the uses for DSPF that makes me smile is in viewing user spaces - just use the path-name format for the user space

dspf /qsys.lib/yourlib.lib/yourspace.usrspc

This can be a nice alternative to DMPOBJ.

You can do the same with EDTF, but only for displayable characters - AFAIK you can't edit hex characters below x40 - if there is a way, I'd be even happier!

That's outstanding Scott! Thanks. I liked doing EDTF on a directory (NOT just a file within a directory) because of:
- the option 9 to do a recursive delete
- the ability to put your cursor on a column (not the heading) and hit F16 and sort by that column
But now I'll have to add
- 6=Path Size
And quick too!
