Since one of your "criteria" is that the "actual" file is in CAPS while the
"link" file is in lower case, you might be able to use

   LISTFILE ../SYSCMD/[A-Z]@,6>*mklink

so you won't even pick up lower-case names in the first place.

[of course, you still get to shoot the first operator who creates
"./MyCommandName"]

[this test may no longer be neccessary (or maybe it's the test I already
cut) -- you've already guaranteed you aren't "looking at" lowercase names to
begin with]
