Re: IFS DASD space analysis tools

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas193dec1bba489cfcc86256dc0006370f4&rs=110 
has information on a program for doing this. You tell it which directory to 
start in, then it gives you the number of links in each subdirectory ( the 
directory itself is one link) and the total size of those links. There are 
also a couple items, "max directory depth" and "max directory width" that 
may be weird at first. I think depth is the max # of directories down any 
given tree, width is the # of directories directly under the directory you 
specified.

All it is, is a call to a program, generates a spooled file.

Justin Haase originally posted herein some info on this.

You could also use a Windows program, reading through the IFS tree with VB 
or something like that. Or do a "dir /s" command in Windows. Or a recursive 
"ls" in QShell.
