is it possible that your current directory is something other than the
root directory? if so maybe it's looking in your current directory for
that path & file. before trying to RMVLNK or other function just for
grins and giggles do CD '/' and see if that changes anything.
Thanks,

Subject: Can't delete files in the IFS
Hi Folks,?I think I'm gonna stump the band on this one.?
?
I'm unable to delete certain files from the IFS.? IBM support has no way
to delete them.? These objects were created by our HA replication software
and the HA vendor doesn't know how to remove them either.? IBM says they
have a hidden character.? ?
?
I get msg CPFA0A9 whether I use the 4 option from the display or rmvlnk
(as shown below).?
?
I tried the IFSTOOL DLTFIFS but that also gets me?CPFA0A9.
?
Using EDTF '/' I was able to use?option 4 which seemed to?delete the files
and I thought that was successful EDTF / doesn't display these objects
anymore?but?when I use?WRKLNK '/' I still see the files (they're listed at
the bottom).? ?
?
When I try to delete via?qsh rm, here's what I get;
?
??
$???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?> rm
'/test/rpts051809/H04CLMPF_106731____27.TXT'??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?? rm: 001-2103 Error found getting information for file or directory
/test/rpts051809/H04CLMPF_106731____27.TXT. No such path or
??
directory.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
??
$???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
So, I ask you folks, does anyone know how I might b/able to remove these
objects????????????
?
Thanks, Frank
