Albert, you might try wildcards, as in this IBM knowledge base article:
===============================
Certain non-OS/400 interfaces to the Integrated File System may create
stream files with invalid names. The file names may have invalid or
characters that cannot be typed (for example, a reverse image block). An
attempt to delete this file using Option 4 from the WRKLNK screen will
result in message CPD018A, Path name contains embedded nulls . An attempt
to delete these from a mapped drive on a PC will also fail. If this is the
case, it may be possible to delete the file using wildcard support. For
example, assume a STMF exists which is named /homedir/testfile@@@@@@ where
each of the '@' represents an invalid or character that cannot be typed.
The following command, using a wildcard, may successfully delete the file:
RMVLNK '/homedir/testfile*'
Caution: To prevent deleting files that you wanted to keep, run the WRKLNK
'/homedir/testfile*' command to check for files you want. If there are
files, move them, and then run the RMVLNK '/homedir/testfile*' command.
==================================
You might also try it from Windows Explorer.

We have some stream files on the AS/400 that got created with slashes in the
name. Now we can't delete or rename them. WRKLNK shows the file but when I
select option 4 it says it can't find the file.
Is there any way to get rid of them?
