Tommy,

All excellent ideas. However, I still suggest RTVDSKINF, followed by
PRTDSKINF *SYS first.

Let's use this as an example:
Total disk space on system in 1,000,000
bytes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 6348230
% of Size in
Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes
User libraries 39.24 2491008.80
User directories 18.58 1179241.11
Folders and documents .00 1.29
QSYS .12 7420.06
Other IBM libraries .60 38190.77
Licensed Internal Code .49 31408.35
Temporary space .91 57900.07
Unused space 39.77 2524745.90
System internal objects .14 8874.34
Objects not in a library .00 .00
TOTAL 99.85 6338790.69

% of Size in
Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes
Space used by system internal objects:
Spool .02 1338.34

How much does one work on trying to get back .02% of disk space when
there's bigger fish to fry?

Good idea on the journal receivers. That's a significant portion of our
disk space.
Do not trust this number
i5/OS items reported:
History files
Journal receivers
That doesn't include user journal receivers in user libraries like:
SELECT DIOBLI, sum(DIOBSZ) FROM qusrsys/qaezdisk
WHERE diobli='#MXJRN'
Object SUM ( DIOBSZ )
Library
#MXJRN 1,245,415,784,448
That's only 1.2TB. But we like to leave our receivers around for two
whole month ends.

Permanently applying PTF's is good (especially on unsupported versions
where you're much less likely to have a "test" ptf installed). Still
check for remnant save files. You may have some left over from previous
releases which never had them permanantly applied. See DLTPTF.
SELECT DIOBLI, DIOBNM, DIOBTP, DIOBAT, DIOBSZ
FROM qusrsys/qaezdisk
WHERE diobat='SAVF'
ORDER BY diobli

Deleted record space?
DSPFD FILE(*ALL/*ALL)
TYPE(*MBR)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
FILEATR(*PF)
OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPFD)
SELECT MBLIB, MBFILE, MBNAME, MBMXRL, MBNDTR ,
MBMXRL * MBNDTR as delspace
FROM QTEMP/DSPFD
ORDER BY mbmxrl * mbndtr desc
