Yes - Rob also suggested this but I do regularly change the Detail option 
I don't believe I have ever changed the Display option. Also other 
directories were showing up but not the one I was looking for.

Absolutely positive.  The changed and used dates viewed in EDTF were from 
a previous date.

Thanks Don

Don,

WRKLNK and EDTF have diff parms for selection.
For WRKLNK, what you chose in previous executions could inhibit your
selection.

Also, if these items appear in /tmp from some sort of processing, are you
sure that it was there on the first day you looked..?
