Re: DASD USAGE UTILITY

What about QFOLDER or other PC folder type objects?  Would those appear?

Are you running this command from a user ID with ALLOBJ authority?  Perhaps
it can't see everything.

Did you try running just a summary query over your raw data file?  Add that
up and see what comes out.

One thing you won't see is QTEMP (or rather, all the QTEMPs floating around
your system), since that 'library' would be visible only to the individual
job running.  Your QTEMP is different than your batch job's QTEMP, and
different from your neighbor's QTEMP.  Is there a lot of stuff running on
the AS/400 at the time?  Perhaps many QTEMPs are swimming around, full of
stuff.

One last thing - locked objects may not report their full DSPOBJD
information.   Neither will locked file members.  So, if lots of things are
running with locked files and locked members, perhaps you're missing those
items.
