Purpose of code is to test existence of file.

C                   CALL      'QUSROBJD'
C                   PARM                    RCVVR2
C                   PARM      100           RCVLEN
C                   PARM      'OBJD0100'    FILFMT            8
C                   PARM                    FILLIB
C                   PARM      '*FILE'       OBJTYP            8
C                   PARM                    ERROR
C     MSGID         IFNE      *BLANKS
C                   EXSR      SNDMSG
C                   GOTO      END
C                   ENDIF

Why not just use a CL with CHKOBJ and MONMSG to see if the file exists? You
could always throw something into the *LDA to let the program know if it
exists or not.

5 lines of code total between CL and RPG as compared to the above 12 lines.
