Yes. You can go in through the Operations Navigator interface (or whatever they are calling it this week) as QSECOFR, select "File Systems", select QSYS.LIB, locate the file and then rename it of delete it. Ops Nav is clever. It will let you fix a file name, but not break it. It seems trivial, but there's a knack to it. I would a bunch recently, and it took some time to find he first and first it fix it, but the next dozen or so were fast. OS/400 is smart. It wouldn't let you create an invalid name (like with CRTPF, or F6 from PDM), but it won't let you break one either. I suspect that I got my bad names through a bug, which IBM later fixed, and when they fixed the bug to let me you create a bad name, they also got the bug to not let you fix it or delete it.

We have an file that has the name of "1", don't know how it got there but has been there since '98 (it might be the file formally named Prince). Only way we found it was thru some software we are using to monitor and keep authorities compliant. It showed up on the list as Non-Compliant. You can't delete/rename/etc or do a display of the File Description directly. Only way you can see it is to do a WRKOBJ or DSPFD for that library and do all files, then it will be in the list that it gives you. If you try and access it directly then you get the message that object name is not valid. Strange? Jim Lowary System Analyst, Salton Inc.
