I need to check whether any of a list of datasets exists and whether any of a list of ddnames is allocated. I'd rather not trap and parse the output of LISTALC and LISTCAT, and I'd rather not call LISTDSI for each one. Is there a simple way to do that in REXX, or would it be better to write a small service routine in assembler?
I don't have a requirement to handle XTIOT. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
