Wait, am I missing something?  I have a REXX that takes a module name and DD
name and searches in the DD to tell me where it first finds that module.  Is
that not reliable?

(In my case I use it with SYSPROC, SYSEXEC, ISPCLIB, ISPPLIB and the like.)

No. What happens depends on the macro and its parameters. Read up on, e.g.,
ERRET=.

Search order goes from the top (JOBLIB / STEPLIB) and indeed it finds the
module from the first library in the concatenation, if it doesn't find, it
searches next library, if it doesn't find, it looks out in your LNKLST,
LPALST etc and if it finds nowhere, S806 abend will be thrown
