Re: The RCLSTG mystery...

What objects do I need to consider:
A)  Everything under /QSYS.LIB?
B)  Everything under /QSYS.LIB and /QDLS?
C)  Everything under /?
D)  Everything under /, with some possible exceptions?
What is the fastest way to determine the number of these objects?
When I use Windows NT Explorer on my PC's hard drive I can right 
click on a folder and it will tell me the number of objects in the 
folder and any of it's subfolders.  Too bad that doesn't work when 
I map a drive to the 400.  Perhaps this should be added to Op Nav.  
Or would this take such a major hit on the 400 keeping this 
capability maintained?  None of the stinking huge database cross 
reference files contain this info do they?  Files like QADBIFLD or 
it's genre?
We have a file on each system that we do a DSPOBJD of all objects 
under QSYS.LIB into.  On the biggest system, (S20-2163    89,052MB at 89% used) 
it has 322,679 records.  
Here is a Query over that file:

Kind of hilarious that the biggest object is IBM's file that keeps track of 
fields used.  That and the fact that several related files and their logicals 
are in the top 50 nasty dudes.  And what's a few gig's used by a CASE tool 
among friends?  Heck one of our user files don't even make the top 10.  Yet 
we still have staff that feel proud that they've removed a dozen items from 
the item master therefore also cleaning up the BOM.  Total savings 1MB, 
1MB * $0.60/MB = $0.60.  Total cost $35 * 5hours = $175.  You'd think that 
an analyst would have heard of Pareto analysis.
Because of that biggest file we almost left a machine at V2R3, the last 
release that didn't have these big files.  The application on that machine 
is an ancient version of the BISCOM fax product in which we are fazing out 
for IBM's Fax/400.  BISCOM wanted $7K to go to RISC.  The company that we buy 
400's from DONATED a E04 to keep the old thing chugging along.  The only 
reason we upgraded is because *prv compiles would have been impossible.  We 
don't keep PDM on the E04.  Only a few  machines have PDM and only two have 
the RPG compiler.  If it wasn't for one software vendor whose product does 
flexible reporting by generating RPG programs we'd only have one machine with 
the compiler.

The other piece of data that would be pertinent is the number of objects on
your system.
