A minor correction - not "any" ILE language can call functions such as
access().  With access() the second parameter is an integer to be passed
by value; and while this can be done in ILE RPG, ILE COBOL, and ILE C
it is not legitimate with ILE CL.

You are correct though that stat() may be the best bet.  ILE CL does have
all the requirements for calling stat():

             PGM        PARM(&PARM)
             DCL        VAR(&PARM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(32)
             DCL        VAR(&RTNVALINT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4)
             DCL        VAR(&RTNVAL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(2)
             DCL        VAR(&PATH) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(100)
             DCL        VAR(&NULL) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(X'00')
             DCL        VAR(&BUF) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(4096)
             CHGVAR     VAR(&PATH) VALUE(&PARM *TCAT &NULL)
             CALLPRC    PRC('stat') PARM(&PATH &BUF) +
                          RTNVAL(%BIN(&RTNVALINT 1 4))
             CHGVAR     VAR(&RTNVAL) VALUE(%BIN(&RTNVALINT))
             IF         COND(&RTNVAL = '00') THEN(SNDMSG MSG('Found') +
                          TOUSR(VINING))
             ELSE       CMD(SNDMSG MSG('Not found') TOUSR(VINING))
             ENDPGM
