Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Object link name of . and ..

Thanks, David:

I never even noticed that optional parameter before ... (leaving it as the default of *PRV has always defaulted to *ALL, apparently, for me.)

By the way, Paul, also by "convention": in Unix, if a file name begins with a ".", such as ".abc" it is said to be a "hidden" file, and so, if you specify DSPOPT(*USER) on WRKLNK, these files will also no longer "show up."

HTH,

Mark S. Waterbury

What's the value of the DSPOPT parameter on WRKLNK?

If it's *ALL, it will show the '.' and '..' 'directories'. If it's
'*USER' it will not show those directories.
