Hi all, I have a simple question, but my searches are eluding me (maybe I don't know what to ask for).

In my Rexx program, before I try to do an EXECIO against it, I want to do something to make sure the DD statement is there and control the error. I tried ListDSI, but that only works on DASD files and not on instream (DD *) data.

How can I test that I have the ABCXYZ DD statement allocated, if it is DD * or DD DATA? Likewise, how can I test for DD JKLMNO that is allocated to SYSOUT=* to be sure it is there (as I am writing via EXECIO to it)?

Thank you and best regards,
Billy Ashton
