It's Hard to Find Hard Links

Hey, Ted:

There is a file in the OS/400 Integrated File System (OS/400 IFS) that has two hard links. I know the name to only one of those links, but I know there's a second hard link. When I use the Work with Object Links (WRKLNK) command and choose option 8 (Display attributes), the second screen tells me that there are two hard links.

How do I find the name of the other link?

-- Larry

You're close.

Specify DETAIL(*EXTENDED) on the WRKLNK command.

Use option 12 (Work with Links) rather than option 8.

Credit for this answer goes to Bruce Vining of IBM, who told me about this option.
