My Problem is ..
When I start an application is looks for _$4$DKA200:[OPENV.] Directory
instead of _$4$DKA200:[OPENV] Directory
I need to check why the application installed in _$4$DKA200:[OPENV]
directory is redirected to _$4$DKA200:[OPENV.] directory ..

Is there any way I can create alias for _$4$DKA200:[OPENV.] to
redirect to again _$4$DKA200:[OPENV] folder ...

The error message getting displayed when I start my application .....

%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image OPENV$ROOT:[EPC]EPC
$CLI_ALPHA.EXE
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found _$4$DKA200:[OPENV.][EPC]EPC
$CLI_ALPHA.EXE;
