You might try
nnoremap <f12> :!cleartool co -c . "%"<cr>
The percent is expanded to be the current file name.
:help :_%
has more details on some of these. You even use it in your
previous mapping (the "%:p:h"). If needed, you can even use the
same modifiers as in
... -c . "%:p"<cr>
to specify the full filename-cum-path
You might also use "lcd" ("local-cd") instead of "cd" in your
other mapping:
:help :lcd
in comparison to the help found above it at
:help :cd
-tim
