Oh no Richard, unsafe. You can only see if see REXX exec is active. What if one starts the exec from within FILELIST for example, or when typing CMS in FILELIST top go to CMS subset, your PIPE will find the FILELIST EXEC, and FILELIST than has nothing to do with the start of the exec. DMSCALLR is the official API, not easy, but checking a few levels deep and you know for sure how you were started.
