You mean "st_size" in the stat buffer, yes?  We do use RMS (if the file is on network device, we'll fall back to a $QIOW/IO$_ACCESS and dig through the FAT but I doubt you are doing that path)

      1   51613     if (fhc->xab$l_ebk != 0)            /* Calculate file size in bytes */
      1   51614         stat_buf->st_size = (off64_t)(fhc->xab$l_ebk - 1) * RMS_BLOCKSIZE + fhc->xab$w_ffb;
      1   51615     else
      1   51616         stat_buf->st_size = (off64_t)fhc->xab$l_hbk * RMS_BLOCKSIZE + fhc->xab$w_ffb;
