Is there a utility or program that will check for the existence of a DSN & return a non zero return code if the DSN dosen't exist?

Look at IDCAMS LISTCAT.

Code:
//LISTCAT  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS                         
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                             
//SYSIN    DD *                                     
 LISTC ENT('some.non.existing.dsn') ALL   


Then run the same thing with an existing dsn. . .
