No, my constraints are:
1. The TSOLIB must be in an environment where it works.
2. Very little in CLIST.
3. No AC(1) in assembler code
4. Live within security rules
a. No access to SAMPLIB
b. No use of external code unless blessed by security
5. Activation of libraries must be retained when starting a new
ISPF logical screen
6. If possible allow the user to allocate VB even though the
ISPF concatenations are VB.
7. Not licensed for PL/I
If the user drops back to READY and then starts ISPF again, it's up to him to
invoke the setup script, either as a CMD() on the command or from an ISPF
panel. TSOLIB is persistent but new logical screens disable ALTLIB and LIBDEF
from other applications, and I'd like a way to automaticall enable them for the
predefined ddnames.

Subject: Re: Checking status of multiple datasets in CLIST and REXX
So your constraints are only CLIST and REXX and no compiled programs?
Well, duplicates are allowed in concatenations.
So you might be able to skip the lookup.
There are ways you can remember that you already did this in a session, such
as allocating IDIDIT and doing an EXECIO against it to determine if it is
allocated.
