Re: Full Path of Object Link

Thanks Scott.

WRKLNK DETAIL(*EXTENDED) is the way to go as you said and Yes I was
trying to follow some Symbolic links I made so I could document them. 

When used there is another option available (using F23 to it) called "12
= work in Links".  Detail(*BASIC) does give that option.

Using option 12 did show the full path.

I'm assuming (though you did't say) that you mean symbolic 
links (object type SYMLNK) and not hard links, right?  (That 
would make the most sense from the way yoi asked the 
question.  But you made reference to WRKLNK and DSPLNK which 
are capable of working with lots of different types of 
objects, and not just symlinks.

To see where a symlink points to interactively, you can type:
WRKLNK DETAIL(*EXTENDED)
or
EDTF '/path/to'
or
QShell's "ls -l" commmand.

To do it programmatically, call the readlink() API.
