Simply read the directory and use stat(). I have a routine that does
this quite successfully.

Subject: QHFGETSZ

I have a program that checks images on a NT server via QNTC to see if
the
size is zero.
This is a further test after checking for the existence of the image.
What I do is a DSPLNK, output to a special outque, then do a CPYSPLF,
read
at the file and look at the size attribute.
The problem is that the job bombs, creating too many spool file entries.
I think that an OVRPRTF with MAXRCDS(*NOMAX) may keep this from
happening.
But I always hesitate in setting anything to *NOMAX, but if I have to, I
will.

I did some research and found the API QHFSETSZ, but it seems it will
only
work on the QOPT and QDLS file systems.

Does anyone know a way to get the "Size of object data in bytes . . . .
.
:", or the equivalent without doing the DSPLNK?

I have not explored doing something on the NT server at all, everything
runs
on the as/400.

TIA
