That tooling gives a snapshot of disk space - it's a necessary tool.
But you describe a different problem - the on-the-fly problem of
reduction in disk space. I once worked for Centerfield Technology and
wrote a utility that monitored disk space using an MI function - very
fast to determine if space was going down fast, even at a 5 second interval.
It was sold eventually to S4i, and I think they still have it - yeah,
https://solutionsfori.com/dasd-plus/ - spike detection is mentioned on
that page.
I believe Fortra has Robot/Space - same kind of thing.
And I think Alan Campin wrote something once - not sure if it's
available. There's a fine venerable site,
https://www.think400.dk/ - and
the download link there has lots of stuff by Alan Campin - I didn't see
the disk space one, though.
The one I wrote would detect growth, then when your setting was passed,
it'd go looking for where, with fairly aggressive techniques as I knew
them at the time. S4i might have made it better, Fortra in their tool,
probably does well.

Thanks. I've now put it on my bookmarks toolbar under the name
"Finding large objects on an AS/400.
I'll run the report once I've finished getting rid of a long-obsolete
Tomcat IFS directory. It's amazing just how much <expletive deleted> a
Tomcat server can accumulate.
