QUESTION POSED ON: 10 September 2003
I ran the Disk Space Report and found that 45% of my disk on the iSeries is being taken up by user directories. How can I get a listing of all the directories, and contents in those directories, listed by size -- largest to smallest?

>

IBM doesn't provide a nice easy way to list this information. I've seen examples of FTPing to your own system and using FTP commands to list directories and I've seen elaborate RPG programs that collect and present this information.

However, I also know of a FAST easy way to list the information you want to a spool file. It isn't very elegant, but it does get you the information.

This program call can run for quite awhile, so submit it to batch. Here we go...

Try running this: CALL PGM(QSRSRV) PARM(METRICS '/' EPFS)
