Why not use the Retrieve Directory Information (RTVDIRINF) command and then SQL the heck out of the resulting file(s)?

I would guess that if you want consistent dates you would have to use the stat() (or related)apis.

I am breaking this down a little and on the dates I can see that sometimes

find /QIBM/ProdData/OS400/iSeriesNavigator -size +20M -type f -exec ls -l

returns Oct 29 2007. Sometimes it returns Mar 10 15:32. It doesn't

matter what directory. Sometimes it varies within the same directory.

Near as I can figure if the last changed date was this year it shows you

the time. Otherwise it shows you the year.



I made two file names

/rob/what a file name.txt

/rob/what,a,file,name.txt



> find /rob/what* -type f -exec ls -l {} \;

-rw-rw-rw- 1 rob 0 6 Jun 03 12:07 /rob/what a

file name.txt

-rw-rw-rw- 1 rob 0 6 Jun 03 12:07

/rob/what,a,file,name.txt

$



> find /rob/what* -type f -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ print $9 "," $5 ","

$6"/"$7"/"$8 }'

/rob/what,6,Jun/03/12:07

/rob/what,a,file,name.txt,6,Jun/03/12:07

$



So awk thinks the space indicates a new field. That makes sense. Commas

it has no problem with (just the darn csv file I am trying to read in

Excel.



1 - How do I get dates consistent?

2 - How do I get awk to ignore some spaces?

3 - How do I get excel to pull in this file and leave what,a,file,name.txt

in one column?

Summary how do I find the big files and get them into Excel?
