Vernon,

for completeness, we could also add Qp01GetAttr() which has a  more complex
structure returned than stat(), lstat().
David Leland wrote a little freeware cmd called ChkIfsObj which uses just CL
and calls stat(). Whilst intended for stream files this could be used to
check *any* object too. The only downside to this cmd is that you don't tell
it what objecttype to check and it doesn't tell you what objecttype it found
(if it did). e.g. if you used it to check a user-parameter for a stream file
and it found a directory it would report ok.

Right on, Rod. The gotcha with stat() is that it follows symbolic links -
like a shortcut in Windows. Of course, that'd normally not be a problem
with the QSYS.LIB part of IFS........
