  • Subject: Re: Cross-reference to menu options

What a COOL IDEA ... I will be very interested in this thread to see if 
someone has a solution ... of course this also is dependent on how our 
software accesses menus, and whether they are written in UIM or DDS or some 
mixture ... we are on BPCSMENU which is the mother of all menus

BPCS has several menu sub-systems & I have figured out what this or that file 
is for sufficiently to do a set of cross-indexes
who has security access to which menus & menu options
which programs are on which menus
etc.
but this works only for how BPCS User Menus are structured

We do something similar to you
RUNQRY works so great that people have been changing the names of their 
queries to show up better in the alphabetical directory of queries.
I have a query that traces what all programs call some object, except BPCS 
uses a lot of soft addressing that this X-ref not get at.
