There are a number of UNSUPPORTED tools available from IBM and one of
them will query the IFS and output data to a file you can analyze. I
used it today and it was much quicker than two different vendor products
I'm using.

It would appear that IBM are doing the same thing you are -
one of my
favorite pet peeves with the IFS is that it can be
inordinately slow -
some work was done to speed it up with *TYPE2 attributes -
but not
enough - makes it a horrible file server compared to almost
any other
platform, in my experience.

Hi,
I left out one detail. I need to do this in a program
on the iSeries.

BTW, I tried EDTF and it is as slow as my recursion
program. I was
hoping that that IBM kept a file of object counts and
sizes somewhere.

I guess I can try threading to speed this thing up

Thanks,

Spencer

Hi,

Does anyone know of a quick technique other than
recursing the directory
tree, to get a count of the objects in the IFS or
an IFS path?

Thanks,

Spencer
