RE: Purge IFS files tool

Err...  -x in Unix (freebsd, anyway) tells find not to cross mountpoints.
In other words, it doesn't search in other diskdrives/partitions/etc

I have no idea what that means in the iSeries world?  (Maybe it scans
root, but doesn't go into QOpenSys or QDLS??)

Since this is the RPG programming forum, I recommend that you use
opendir()/readdir() APIs to read the contents of a directory if you only
need that one directory...

You can find details in my IFS tutorial here:

If you must do this from QShell, then you probably want to use ls.  But,
let's move this discussion to midrange-l if that's the case...
