I don't think I see the flaw yet. How would you define it? Because all DSDD does is tell me whether a character string represents a (catalogued) DSN and/or an (allocated) DDN; and if the problem you're thinking of is that the situation may have changed milliseconds later, how will any other routine avoid that? I'm sure you have something in mind, but I don't know what.
