I might be offering information that may mean anything, but have you looked at Mark Zelden's IPLINFO REXX code, he lists the system symbols (find "symbols:" in the code).

It is quite unusual to have to "query" a system symbol. The case I usually think of is "I have a string, I support symbolics, I call the symbol substitution service to do whatever it, according to its documentation, chooses to do". And if the customer used a symbol that they had failed to define, then they get what they get, which is usually something that has bad syntax because "&SYM" is not usually what a parser would be looking for.
