Thank you to all that have responded. What I am attempting to accomplish.
I wish to perform a pre-emptive check on the availability of a DB2 subsystem on another sysplex prior to shipping a batch job over to that Plex. Yes, I could code a small SQL QUERY and check for the SQLCODE returned, but, I wanted to know how something like MSI can show that a subsystem is defined, but, is not active. Special Thanks to Wayne Driscoll. I will test this out, but, it looks like the solution I am seeking.
