Alan,

Perhaps the easiest way is to use the IFS access() API -- see:

    https://www.mysamplecode.com/2011/05/rpgle-check-ifs-object-existence-use.html ;

for an example in ILE RPG IV.  You should be able to adapt this for use in your SQLRPGLE program.

As an API call, this will be much faster than using some SQL table function.

Hope that helps,

Mark S. Waterbury

Hi folks
We are on V7r3
Does anyone know of any methods (SQL, api'setc.) to determine if an object exists in the ifs
This has to be inserted into an SQLRPGLE program
My google search is displaying a lot of older methods using CLP, but I would prefer using something more modern
I will keep looking through my search - but as always, all answers gratefully accepted
