Have a situation where RMVDIR ... RMVLNK(*YES) is not working and issuing an

to take care of.


Yeah, that's never worked as far as I know ... we had to implement our
own recursive rmvlnk program (using C api's called from CL to walk the
tree).

A lot of the IFS commands seems to have problems with IFS space, but the
error reporting is next to useless.
