RE: Validating a member name

This is how I did it:

/* CHECK FOR WEEK MEMBERS OF PHYSICAL FILES AND ADD AS NEEDED */  
            CHKOBJ     OBJ(VAVLTV) OBJTYPE(*FILE) MBR(WEEK)       
            MONMSG     MSGID(CPF9801 CPF9815) EXEC(ADDPFM +       
                         FILE(VAVLTV) MBR(WEEK))                  

I hope this helps.

I don't suppose any of you can tell me how to validate a member name without
coding my own routine?  I have an application where a member name will be
entered and I want to make sure the system will take it before I submit the
job to execute the command that will use the member name.  

I have checked the manuals and even wrote a CL program to attempt an ADDPFM
command to a file that does not exist.  Trouble with that is the CPD0078
error message is a diagnostic and not picked up by MONMSG.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
