Re: IFS Object named "."

Yes I was worried about the "." being the root. Maybe the true object name
is blanks or null? Here is the error:

the object is checked out, you can use the

using System Navigator for i.
Additionally, the Work with Object Links
(WRKLNK) or Display Object Links
(DSPLNK) commands can be used to determine
if the object is checked out.

How can I find it? I'm in Navigator for i looking in the root and
the iASP root but not seeing it.

'.' is a special directory entry that refers to the specific directory you
are in.

For instance, if you invoked a pase or shell script './xyz123.sh', it
would run the script in the current directory instead of searching the path.

There is also a similar entry '..' which refers to the parent directory of
the current directory.

Why the '.' directory would be locked I have no idea.
