I am obviously missing something ...

I admit, I have no idea how your observed inconsistent behavior can be
explained.

But there are thousands of files in /var/tmp

Example

Object link Type
QACXAAJG80 STMF
QACXAAKPCF STMF
QACXAALWZ5 STMF
QACXAAM1LV STMF
QACXAAM3B3 STMF

I actually want to delete these but the delete was not working using the

find command so I was trying to determine why and then found that the
files were not being selected.

Could you see output when you use FTP? Or when using qsh and running ls
/var/tmp

:wq! PoC
