Is there an easy way for a program to determine if a file or directory
exists in the IFS?

In the QSYS.LIB file system we have CHKOBJ. But in the IFS I can't find
any reference to a function that will give me an easy answer. There seem
to be many APIs that use files and directories, but nothing that returns
an easy answer of 'Yes/No' for 'Does object exist?'

Many thanks in advance
