How to test if AS400 linked server table exists in T-SQL?

[pwomack]

I need to determine whether a table in a AS400 linked server exists before I attempt to select from the table. I need the equivalent of the code below that is written for a SQL Server linked server.

IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM myDatabase..sysobjects WHERE name = ''myTable_@date'' AND xtype = ''U'')

Thanks.

I believe "SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES" does work on iSeries.
