Ok, if I CHKOUT a directory, do I need to CHKIN?  Also, what is the point of
CHKIN and CHKOUT?

Original Message
-------------------------------------------
 Try the CHKOUT command - if the object you are testing is a directory (you
cannot check out a directory), you will get a CPFA0DA message, so monitor
for that. If it does not exist, you will receive CPFA0A9. If the checkout
was successful, it is not a directory and you need to check it in
immediately.


The command first appeared at V3R1.

I have a CL program that uses CHKDLO to determine the existence of a folder.
We are changing things around to use directories.  What would the equivalent
command be to check for the existence of a directory?  I assume we can't use
wrklnk, because that will actually display the screen.  Also, what would the
correct msgid be?
