Hi All,

I have a production Job which is creating a dataset called XXX5.XXXX.X6X601.

I need a help to write a program to check the above dataset is available to use or not?
Is it possible through CLIST or REXX?

Can anyone help me....

Thanks
Shri

I suppose that you mean that if the dataset is existing and is available for editing.

You can use
SYSDSN('datasetname') = 'OK' then
its available.

hope this is what you were asking.
