RE: How to tell if Netserver is active?

[qsrvbas@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom Liotta)]

Reggie:

OpsNav is one way, but won't help if you need to tell in a running program. The 
List Server Information (QZLSLSTI) API can help. There's some basic CL code 
pasted below that _should_ work for V4R3 and above. Use it as a guideline.
