I'm not familiar with Bruce's suggestion of Get Attributes (Qp0lGetAttr).  I
use the C function stat().  Compile with BNDDIR(QC2LE).  The RPG IV redbook
probably has a better example...

 * File stats                                        
 *   #include <sys/stat.h>                           
 *                                                   
 *   int stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf);   
 *                                                   
Dstat             pr            10i 0 extproc('stat')
D                                 *   value          
D                                 *   value          

 * Returned file status structure                                      
 *  struct stat {

 *    unsigned long  st_allocsize;  /* Allocation size of the file     
 *    char[11]       st_objtype;    /* AS/400 object type
