Carl,

    STREAMX is looking for MPE's STREAM command, so use a different
command.  Create a UDC or command file that executes the STREAM
command with and ANYPARM option for whatever you provide it.  As an
example,

print STRM.CMNDFILE.PUB

        ANYPARM PARM=' '
        COMMENT
        COMMENT   Command File to stream a job.
        COMMENT
        IF "!PARM"="' '" THEN
           COMMENT  No job name specified.  No processing.
        ELSE
           STREAM !PARM
        ENDIF

Then use the UDC/command file in your job stream.

        !IF FINFO("JNBCHECK.JOB.SYS","EXIST")
        !    XEQ STRM.CMNDFILE.PUB JNBCHECK.JOB.SYS
        !ENDIF

MPEX won't see a "STREAM" command so it won't abort with a
missing file, but your logic of streaming the file IF it exists at execution
time will be maintained.

HTH,
