James:
There is also a tool called "IFSPOP" by Mark Keck ... here is an article that describes it:
https://www.itjungle.com/2013/08/07/fhg080713-story01/ ;
That web page has a link to download a save file. It comes with source code, so that it can be easily customized and extended to meet your needs.
Somewhat like POP on S/36 SSP ... or PDM for OS/400.
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

Interesting. I've used the Linux "find" (in fact, I use it like crazy in
our AWS EC2 instances), and I've used the MacOS/BSD "find" (which is
slightly, but maddeningly, different from the Linux version), but I
never knew that QShell had a "find."
And I see that the "-name" parameter also works (which also bears on the
problem).
And it seems much simpler (albeit perhaps less flexible) than Larry's
SQL solution (which is one I hadn't in my wildest dreams imagined).
The issue here is that we have a directory that contains too many
entries for WRKLNK to display without some serious subsetting, let alone
that it's too many entries for one human being to deal with in a
reasonable amount of time (e.g., complete the analysis sometime before
heat-death of the universe).
Just out of morbid curiosity, are there other solutions (that wouldn't
involve spending all day researching API calls and writing a program to
use them)?
Thanks.
