hi all!

i'm wondering if there's a workaround to a limitation in
finfo.  here's the problem i'm running into:
=============
IXH:echo ![finfo("../SYSCMD/STARTRSQ","fmtfopt")]
                 ^
An error occurred while accessing the file for FINFO. (CIERR
9984)
=============
what's the problem?
=============
IXH:listfile ../SYSCMD/STARTRSQ,2
 PATH= /SYS/SYSCMD/

 CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
FILENAME
         SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

           1B  BAL         20       1024   1       16  1  *
STARTRSQ
=============
finfo is 'upset' because 'startrsq' is a link.  since we're
going to have to live with this limitation....is there a
workaround available?  preferably one that doesn't involve
parsing listfile output....?          - d
