I see no reason why one should have to make a DROPSYM conditional as you 
suggest.

You issue the command and, if you have NOSUMMARY, the command response should 
be, well, nothing!
After all, that's what the NOSUMMARY is defined as meaning.

>From the manual:

SUMMARY or NOSUMMARY
        SUMMARY indicates that a processing summary (a final total line) is to 
be produced.

        NOSUMMARY specifies that a processing summary is to be suppressed. The 
NOSUMMARY parameter is useful to turn off summary messages when the subcommand 
is invoked within a CLIST or a REXX exec.

You need to eliminate the dropsym if it does not exist:

address IPCS
"EVALSYM XXXX"
if rc = 0 then
     "DROPSYM XXXX"
