RE: Damaged IFS object

["Jones, John (US)" <John.Jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How are you trying to delete the object?  Sometimes the filename will
become messed up and you can't properly refer to it.  When that happens,
you can try going at it through a NetServer share of by using wildcards
in a DEL or RMVLNK command.  Typically, by using the ? and * wildcards a
single file can be isolated.

For /somefolder/jones/doc, try:
DEL '/somefolder/j??es.doc'
DEL '/somefolder/jon*.doc'
DEL '/somefolder/j??es.*'
etc.

Hey,  we have a file that we cannot delete or restore on the IFS.  IBM
says we have to do a reclaim storage and the systems guy is thinking
there has got to be better way. 

 Any suggestions?

Thanks,
