I am having an issue with this:
find . -type f -size +20M -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ print $9 "," $5 ","
$6"/"$7"/"$8 }' > /rob/bigfiles2.csv
find: 001-2190 The trailing character +20M for option -size is not
valid.
$

Searching a few man pages doesn't show it as wrong.
Is this one of those obscure things where the problem isn't with the +20M
but it's really with something way after that?

Running find . -type f -size +20M on linux results in no problems. Running the exact same command in QSH gives the error you describe. This appears to be a case where IBM has written an incompatible version.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
