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.? ?

The simplest way to delete this file is

For example, the first char of this file name is 'a'

First,
change current directory to this file's directory

move all other file with name starting from 'a' to other
catalog
MOV 'a*' todir()
and then
DEL 'a*'
