Re: COM Inventory Transaction Register

I normally run a file status report and compare it from month to month to 
see which files are out there. I look for the biggies and work my way down 
the lists.. Also, on a monthly basis I run the as/400 command, RTVDSKINF 
to then print out reports on the biggest libraries/folders.

I have found that most of my customer's disk space is not taken up by 
MAPICS, but all those PTFs in AFDWEB or the IFS or Domino. I find that 
MAPICS normally takes up a very small percentage when it comes to overall 
disk usage..  Now, each customer is different, but as a whole it really 
isn't a lot.  If you only have 20GB of DASD, then yes, MAPICS is taking up 
a lot of space, but if you have say 300GB of dasd, you have a lot of room 
to grow.

I'm in the same dark boat.
Must be a leftover from IBM days to promote disk sales.
I too wonder if there are any other files that need housekeeping.
