I've used PGMCNTRL to do this (on hobbes as pgmcn104.zip) to do this. 
With it you can query if an entry is in the window list, and then 
check the return code.

Also, somewhere along the way, IBM added the functions 
SysQuerySwitchList and SysSwitchSession to the Rexx utility library.  
The first fills a stem with the window list.  The latter attempts to 
switch to the named session and returns an error if it can't.  These 
could easily be used.
