Thanks! That appears to be what I needed. I just didn't really understand what it was getting at. It is not authorized, so I can use it in my program. Now to determine if I want to or not. I may use NONBASE=YES, and then test for whether the UCB is an alias based on what else I am planning to do with it. I haven't entirely designed exactly what I want to accomplish. This is a "for learning" project of my own. A UNIX command to list on-line DASD volumes and optionally list other data, such as device number or LSPACE, perhaps even the datasets on the volume.
