Determine PPI or Receiver Status

The STATUS option of the &PPI verb allows an NCL process to determine the status of PPI itself (available or not), or the status of a PPI RECEIVER (by using the ID=name operand).

In either case, the process can examine the &RETCODE and &ZFDBK system variables after the request. If &RETCODE is 0, then PPI or the receiver is available or defined.
