The devil is in the details; I can't tell whether the code is reliable without looking at It. What I can say is that there are searches that do not cause an ABEND if the module is not found. The relevant text was "if it finds nowhere, S806 abend will be thrown", which is not true for, e.g., BLDL, DESERV, anything with an ERRET parameter.

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?
