    Returning the object size is bytes is more precise than returning the size in megabytes or another multiplier value.
    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this request at this time, so it is being closed.


    When DSPOBJD is used with OUTPUT(*OUTFILE), DSPOBJD returns the object size in units of 512 bytes.
    You could get the list of objects to an outfile (database file) with the command:
    DSPOBJD OBJ(libname/*ALL)
    OBJTYPE(*ALL)
    OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
    OUTFILE(QGPL/OUTF1)

    Then you can use SQL to get the object sizes:
    SELECT ODOBNM, ODOBTP, ODOBSZ, ODSIZU, ODBPUN FROM QGPL/OUTF1
    ORDER BY odsizu desc

    Field ODOBSZ is "object size in bytes"
    Field ODSIZU is "object size in units" of units of 512 bytes.
    Field ODSIZU is a multiplier field.
