Yes, indeed, that is much easier. Also, mentally parsing out the TSO LISTDS LABEL output is an easy one-step, now that I know what bit I'm looking for.
Thanks, everyone, for your input. BTW, reading the docs for this bit is less than helpful. Two bits in the DSCB seem likely candidates but the DSCHA is the winner. The docs say that the bit is set when the dataset is opened and that is not the case. The other seemingly likely candidate was DS1IND08 but it does not fit the bill. David G.
