The resulting outfile has no key, unless you create one especially for this. CHAIN is not the best way - a SELECT and checking the SQL code is going to tell you whether you have a hit.

But the CHKOBJ is even better.

Tim,

You could try something like this:
DSPFD FILE(srclib/srcfile) TYPE(*MBRLIST) +
             OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(mylib/myoutfile).
Then chain to the outfile with the member you are trying to create. If
you get a hit then you know that the source already exists.
