Actually using the method supplied by Jack Hamilton to obtain a useable
list of catalogs.  Along with VFORMAT and VTYPE to construct the format
name as needed by CEXIST "library.catalog.name.type" it is really quite
easy.

As you suggest the PROC SUMMARY PRELOADFMT method produces similar
results and you can get other useful information (counts) at the same
time.  My requirement is for the CNTLOUT data.
