RE: IFS commands

This is good only for DLOs, which we are told not to use, if we can help it.

David mentioned the C stat() function - there is also the access() API function, which has a direct test for existence. It is reliable only in languages that can use pointers - I've used it successfully, IIRC, in CL, but that is an accident and not to be recommended.

In the CL's that need to check for the existence on an IFS object, we use
the DLTDLO command (Delete Document Library Object) and then monitor for the
error message CPF8A82 (Document DOCNAME not found in folder FOLDRNAME)
