Re: finding large objects on Iseries

["franz400" <franz400@xxxxxxx>]

The idea of a system file containing a list of all files and their size 
sounds nice but the overhead of updating for every record added or deleted 
would be tremendous.
I've always run the RTVDSKINF (and RTVDIRINF) once a week during quieter 
times, and then can use PRTDSKINF and PRTDIRINF (or query the outfiles: 
QUSRSYS/QAEZDISK and for RTVDIRINF, see the help text for how the file is 
named .

And if just looking for a quick check of a library, WRKOBJPDM - F14 to show 
object size, and F15 to selection
                             Subset Object List

  Object . . . . . . . . . . . .   *ALL         *ALL, name, *generic*
   Object type  . . . . . . . . .   *FILE        *ALL, *type
    Object attribute . . . . . . .   *ALL         *ALL, attribute, 
*generic*,
                                                *BLANK
  Object size
    From . . . . . . . . . . . .            0   0 - 9999999999
    To . . . . . . . . . . . . .   9999999999   0 - 9999999999

  Text . . . . . . . . . . . . .   *ALL
