Hi Bob

I guess you could do worse than turning object auditing on. I can't quite think of exactly what set of system values you want but this is the area you are probably best to look at. You should be able to see what programs use a file although it may take a while to trap them all (like, a month to get through an end of month).

You would simply have to change the system values (QAUDCTL and QAUDLVL I think) to something appropriate and then specify that the object is to be audit by hmm.. CHGPF ? You'll end up with a journal you have to trawsl through.

Depending what your interested in another option is simply to journal the file. This will get you any programs that cause updates, deletions or inserts to the table.

Finally, I suppose you could add a trigger that took the calling program name and wrote it somewhere. This is more of an idle thinking out loud suggestion.

Good Afternoon,
        I know this is a dumb question but it's been one of those Mondays

Is there a way to find all the programs that access a file.

So I told you it was one of those Mondays
