Are you sure that's the letter O and not the number 0?

subject: WRKLNK incorrect

I had a problem yesterday where the cause is normally a directory in

/tmp

that is owned by a different profile - anyway this is not the issue.

I ran the command

wrklnk '/tmp/AO2387'

Nothing was found - Object not found. Object is /tmp/AO2387.

So I used wrklnk '/tmp/AO*'

This found other entries but not the one I was looking for..

Ok maybe my thought of what was causing the error was wrong.

Today I used EDTF - wanted to check the size of /tmp

So I ran EDTF STMF('/')

Then used 5=Display on the /tmp directory

The searched for AO in the Name column and to my surprise there was a
directory AO2387

There were about 250,000 files in the /tmp directory

Why does WRKLNK not find the file. (I was using a profile with *ALLOBJ
authority and the name was in uppercase)

Thank you for any responses.

Don
