Lennie,

There is a bit in the format 1 DSCB for each data set on a volume
(DS1ENCRP) that is ON if that data set is encrypted. You can interrogate
that bit to see if the corresponding data set is encrypted without opening
the data set. Using that bit, we report on the encryption status of each
data set on a volume in our DASD  DSLIST report.
