If your storage admins don't have ISMF setup to be publically accessible, ask them to. The inquiry functions are useful. (And if you're brave enough, it can run large inquiries in batch (see NaviQuest).) If the data set is SMS compressed, a LISTCAT on the dataset will show it's compressed and uncompressed size in bytes in the COMP-USER-DATA-SIZE and USER-DATA-SIZE fields. Some third party products like FDR report and CA-DIsk can report on the dataset's size.

Change the renaming mask from *name*.*ext* to *text* *name*.*ext* and DTA will put the link description in front of the unhelpful filename. In the zOS Internet Library, the descriptions are the text in of the link. For example, "iea2u100.pdf" becomes "z/OS V1R9.0 MVS Capacity Provisioning User's Guide iea2u100.pdf". The only problem with that is it breaks the embedded PDF links. That's fixable on a unix system with symlinks. You might be able to fix it on a Windows system with a NTFS link helper utility, but I haven't tried.
