I believe you are correct.  I do not remember creating it either, but in
this case. It looks like it was wiped out somehow.  This is easy to do as
it's just another file, isn't it?  One can quickly verify the existence of
the file and its proper contents by doing:

:LISTFILE /etc/resolv.conf,5

At the bottom, the target should be displayed.

********************
 FILE: /etc/resolv.conf

 FILE CODE : 0                   FOPTIONS: ASCII,BYTESTREAM,NOCCTL,SYMLINK
 BLK FACTOR: 1                   OWNER   : **

 NUM SEC: 16                               LOCK    :
 NUM EXT: 1                                EXECUTE :
 MAX REC: 1024                           **SECURITY IS ON
                                 FLAGS   : NO ACCESSORS
 NUM LABELS: 0                   CREATED : MON, SEP 10, 2001,  1:53 PM
 MAX LABELS: 0                   MODIFIED: MON, SEP 10, 2001,  1:53 PM
 DISC DEV #: 3                   ACCESSED: MON, SEP 10, 2001,  1:53 PM
 SEC OFFSET: 0                   LABEL ADDR: **
 VOLCLASS  : MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:DISC

 SYMLINK TARGET: /SYS/NET/RESLVCNF
:

Then to make sure all is as it should be:

:PRINT /etc/resolv.conf

And out should pop the contents of RESLVCNF.NET.SYS

Hello All,

As far as I can tell the link from /etc/resolv.conf to RESLVCNF.NET.SYS was
included with the operating system (FOS) and is not something I ever
remember creating.  I can not find reference to creating this link in the
manual set either.

The intent for RESLVCNF and the other network configuration files is to be
edited in the MPE environment with EDITOR and linked to in the POSIX
environment as is the case with the SERVICES, PROTOCOL, INETDCNF, INETDSEC
and BOOTPTAB files.

I would suggest:   :newlink /etc/resolv.conf,/SYS/NET/RESLVCNF
