Or run it as a batch job: SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('ls -al /wintouch/wtfoobar'))
And being a UNIXish shell, it supports redirection so you could output the directory listing to a text file: QSH CMD('ls -al /wintouch/wtfoobar >/dirlisting.txt') You could probably even redirect to a PFM but I haven't ever tried it: >/qsys.lib/mylib.lib/myfile.file/mymbr.mbr or somesuch.

Subject: Re: Convenient way to list contents and space consumption for an IFS directory?
What I sent the colleague whose customer wanted it:
The grand total here also includes other things, like the settings and
workflowscripts subdirectories (but not, so far as I can tell, their
contents), but it's quick and easy.
From an OS/400 command line, type
QSH
and hit <enter>. This will put you into QShell.
Then type, assuming your environment is WTFOOBAR,
ls -al /wintouch/wtfoobar
and hit <enter>. This will give you a directory listing with sizes, and
with a grand total at the top (it could be hundreds or even tens of
thousands of lines; they might need to press F17 to get back to the top).
To exit QShell, just press <F3>
******************************
Even easier: From an OS/400 command line, type:
QSH CMD('LS -AL /WINTOUCH/WTFOOBAR')
This will run the command (it could take several minutes to complete) and report
the results (<F17> for top and <F18> for bottom work here, too). Then
just hit
<enter> to return to a command line
