If you do not have write permission to these directories then you will have problems. It fails hard without any error messages. I should have else clauses on my writes but maybe I missed some. The JobReport routine should be there as well. I did not write this so I cannot fix it. There are notes on ...

I give away a bunch of jobs and routines call EtlStats. Several of the jobs and routines are just to produce this kind of documentation. The results all come out as html pages. These jobs and routines all have GenHtml in the name. Both EtlStats and GenHtml have been discussed before. Do a search.

I would look at some key tables. Count the rows. Try to estimate the row lenght by guessing the average row length. Take the largest table row length times number of rows and make sure you have several times that amount of disk maybe 10 or 20 times. WAG is maybe the best you can do unless you want t...

You have the code. You does not use a style sheet. It generates simple html. Send me an example of what you want and maybe I will change it otherwise you have the code. You can change it yourself.

The JobReport routine was not written by me. IBM would need to give you that code.

Besides why would anyone want to move the whole DSParams file? The values in this file usually change from DEV to TEST to PROD. Examples would be the config files. You might have a 2 node in DEV and a 8 node in TEST and 16 in PROD.
