RE: A bad Monday question

One of the modules within TestBench - one of our Automated Software
Testing Solutions - will provide a list of all the programs which
reference the objects that are changed.  

It will also display the nested call stack for a program.

Of course that is just one module of many within the product.

I agree. ADM was a nice piece of software. It has saved me countless
hours
over the years. Unfortunately, it has been discontinued. V5R2 is the
last
release it's available on.

The only alternatives seem to be Hawkeye, Abstract-Probe, and Docu-mint.

my
opinion, provided a decent feature set at a reasonable price.
