Re: How to determine whether ACS Open Source packages are on a partition

[Niels Liisberg <nli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can use this trix:

MOV OBJ('/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin') TOOBJ('/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin')

If it exists  - you have a CPCA086 - it will successfully - 'move nothing'
and

Else you get an CPFA0A9 error
