Subject: Can I sense the LIBDEF status?

ATTENTION: This e-mail came from an external source. Do not open attachments or

Coïncidentally, I have an iSPF-related question this morning.  I find I want to 
write a REXX that can turn on or off a sort of test mode, by doing an ALTLIB 
and LIBDEF (one each).  When this test mode is on, ALTLIB and LIBDEF are active 
and the commands I invoke will come from the ALTLIB library; when I'm done, 
I'll turn the test mode off and the REXX will clear the datasets.

I can easily enough create an ISPF variable to track the current status.  But 
is there a way to look at the ALTLIB and/or LIBDEF status without it?  I mean, 
is there some command I can execute that'll determine whether an ALTLIB or 
LIBDEF statement is (so to speak) active?

Now with some content. At one time ISPF-L was in the hands of Leonard Woren. 
Something indeed has gone wrong. I saw Leonard at SHARE in San Jose--along with 
his wife!!! Sounds like a job for Super Tom.

The ISPF-L listserver is broken, it's some kind of mailing list now.  Pretty 
sure it's no longer hosted at Notre Dame.  I had NOMAIL set on the listserver, 
now I get mailbombed whenever someone posts to it.  ISPF-L should be put out of 
its misery.
