Correct. No matter where I put it or name it.
Also created a file with same name and that one worked fine.
The file attributes show it as a *STMF. Very interesting.
The file did come in via FTP if that matters, but I don't think so :-)
We already have a query into IBM support, but odd indeed.
Writing an alternate CL command that uses the ls API for now as a workaround, but this API has worked fine for years and this customer has only seen this happen twice.

than *STMF on V5R4
So it's the file itself, even when moved, reports as a directory?
What if you create a new file with the same name? Does that also report as
a DIR? I'm wondering here if it's the file itself that is odd, or if it's
the filename that may be causing the issue.
I'd even be curious if you were to save this file, restore it on another
system and see if it does the same thing.
I hate to say it, but IBM may need a call. But something in the back of my
head tells me that it's something simple that possibly is being overlooked.
