You need to specify ALWQRYDFN(*YES).  Besides, I understood that Jerry was 
looking for this.  However, never mind.  This command will not tell if a 
file is been used and obviously not even if it is been replaced or having 
new records coming in.  However, if you know how to "automagically" print 
a query definition (which I have seen in the midrange list been 
addressed), then what I will also recommend is to:

Prepare a CL to create a work file with all *QRYDFN objects
Read each object name and print the *QRYDFN
Copy the spooled file into a database file
Goto step 2 until *EOF
Search on the database file for the output definition information of all 
*QRYDFN objects in that library or libraries.
