Bob, That's Dean's way (and, AFAIK, the only way) to see if the WHEN ... DO rule is executed. Since the FILTLIST only applies to one specific dataset, there won't be any impact to the system.
Of course, one might be able to save a few cycles if one were to code a first WHEN ... DO rule to test for valid DASD units and exit if it isn't, instead of repeating the DASD unit test in every WHEN ... DO rule. But that's another issue.
