As QSECOFR or a profile with that authority, submit a job to run command RTVDSKINF.
This will build a file with all the information regarding object sizes.
I like to have this job run automatically on a weekly basis.
Once job is completed, use command (Interactively) PRTDSKINF.
You will be prompted for selection.
You can get summary and/or detail reports.
By size, by library, etc.

RTVDSKINF also creates a file you can query: QAEZDISK

So instead of using the PRTDSKINF you can download this file to XL to sort and filter.

You can automate the Xfer to XL using the technique described in my blog:

RTVDSKINF will use some resource and may run a couple hours so run it during downtime.
If you want to randonly check object size in certain libraries, use can use iNav
Under My Connections, expand the iSeries you’re working on
Expand File Systems, IFS, then QSYS.LIB
Right click on a library to view all the objects within
Just like in windows explorer, click on Size to sort all objects.
