Just something on access(pathname, F_OK) - it can be used against library objects, too, so long as you convert the library/object name to path name format. You can even use the Qp0lProcessSubtree()--Process a Path Name API to handle generic names (including library/object stuff in path name format) - of course, if that returns something, then it has to exist, right? I think that's why a generic name on a CHK* existence command seems strange to folks.

Anyway, hope this is news to someone.

BTW, access() does not find generic names, either.

As far as the tools are concerned, there is still QUSRTOOL, which is where TAATOOL used to reside. There are other things there now.

Sure, you
could do a DSPOBJD or DSPFD to an outfile to search library objects and use
access() API for IFS.  But, just encapsulating these in single programs and
commands as general utilities allows programs wishing to use these
functions to include just a single call or command reference.
