Kurt, You should refer to the z/OS Migration books for the releases you skip and your target release. See http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/e0z2m171/9.2.26?SHELF=EZ2ZBK0I&DT=20100128170349 It is the documented migration item related to the rexx stem variables.
There is even a health checker check to help check through home written execs. Since R11 the only stem variable with stem .0 is the one directly related to the the SEARCH subcommand issued. So [email protected] for SV, [email protected] for SD etc. So, depending on the command issued, probably SD in your case, use [email protected] to find how many data sets(files) are on the volume. Or, you could use LV and then edg@dsc for number of data sets on volume - adding 1 for the next physical file on the volume.
