Read all for the solution:

I am wondering if there is a system setting somewhere.
WRKLNK '/*'
Object link            Type 
.                      DIR 
..                     DIR 
.eclipse               DIR 
bin                    SYMLNK->DIR
botdir                 DIR 
bpcsdata               DIR 


Yet WRKLNK '/*' on another machine only shows:
Object link            Type
bin                    DIR 

and this was after I did a 
md '/.test'
Not even showing the dot directory or the dot dot directory.

Pretty much matching level's of os on both machines.  From WRKPTFGRP:

Got it figured out!!!
Prompt WRKLNK and read the help on the last parameter, DSPOPT.  Try *ALL. 
Then the default of *PRV will remember that.
