Your first line of attack

The Retrieve Disk Information (RTVDSKINF) command is used to collect disk space information. Disk space
information can then be printed using the Print Disk Information (PRTDSKINF) command. The collected
information is stored in a database file in library QUSRSYS. The file name depends on the auxiliary storage pool
(ASP) device for which disk space information is retrieved. If the information was retrieved from the system and
basic ASPs, the collected information will be stored in file QAEZDISK. If the information was retrieved from an
independent ASP device, the collected information will be stored in file QAEZnnnnn, where 'nnnnn' is the ASP
number of the independent ASP. The information will be stored in a data base file member named QCURRENT.
Each time this command is run, existing information in QCURRENT is written over. To save existing information in
member QCURRENT, rename file QAEZDISK or QAEZDnnnnn, or copy the member to another file.
Note: Do not rename member QCURRENT within file QAEZDISK or QAEZDnnnnn. If there is more than one
member in QAEZDISK or QAEZDnnnnn, the results of running this command can be unpredictable.

Restrictions:
1. You must have all object (*ALLJOB) special authority to collect
disk space information.
2. You must be enrolled in the system distribution directory to
collect folder and document information. Use the Work with
Directory Entries (WRKDIRE) command to enroll.

 Summary
Always start with RTVDSKINF.
Query the data generated by RTVDIRINF for some detail
about stream files.
What you knew in the past may still be important, but,
start with the above first to get the biggest bang for your
buck.
