An alternative to using WRKLNK to navigate the
IFS is to use the DSPF or EDTF commands that have been available since
V4R4. By specifying a directory (rather than an individual stream file)
in the STMF parameter of either the DSPF or EDTF commands then an
almost 'Explorer'-type display is presented allowing for a larger, more
navigable view of the current selected directory -- drilling up and down
a directory tree structure is much more user friendly than the
traditional WRKLNK views. Users can still edit, view and delete stream
files as they would using WRKLNK. In addition there are options to
perform Recursive Deletes against an entire directory tree, as well as
display the Path Size of a selected directory tree that provides a
directory count, a file count and an sum of the sizes of all files.xc
