Re: Finding an object's usage

You answered the question & I don't like the answer, but that's life/400.

We also do substitutions in CL for the files specified in some RPG.

Also some specificity, like which member affected, not show up in the REF.

Good question - I sought an answer!!

Created a query called VERN/TEST that had file VERN/JOBLOG in the definition.

Created this program VERN/TESTRUNQRY

PGM

RUNQRY     QRY(VERN/TEST)
RUNQRY     QRY(VERN/TEST) QRYFILE((VHCURLIB/JOBLOG2))

ENDPGM

Ran DSPPGMREF and got the following:
