You could also skip the check.

1.  Execute your next command (SAVSYS??)
2.  Monitor for an abend (Subsystem xxx is still active).
3.  DLYJOB 5 minutes if abend occurs
4.  Retry the command
etc ...


Happy New Year.

Monitoring for the 'Subsystem xxxx ended' message in
QSYSOPR is one option.  Another is to perform the
WRKSBSJOB SBS(XX) OUTPUT(*PRINT).   If the
subsystem is not active WRKSBSJOB will issue
CPF1003.

Or you could use the Work Management API QWCLASBS
(which lists active subsystems) or QWDRSBSD) which
returns specific information about a subsystem and I
believe includes number of active jobs and the status
of the subsystem.

I have used the WRKSBSJOB approach for years.  I wish
I had time to work with the API's on legacy programs :-)
