Re: Program explosion report

Uggghhhh. Brain fart. The other thing that trips me up is thinking of
Roger Penske (the car guy), and I do remember reading an article that
mentioned him several days ago. Also, CR Pence has an 'R' (for Roger?).

I have plenty of excuses, just not good ones.

Sorry about that, Chuck! ;-)

Roger <<<, thank you for your reply. Your suggestion to add the

predicate "and

WHFNAM <> WHPNAM" had no impact on the behavior.

Are there any scenarios of which you're aware that would cause

this query to loop endlessly? I just tried this on another program,
and let the query run for a good 10 minutes before I killed it.
The job had no halts; the CPU was running, and the temp storage on
the job was climbing into the tens of gigabytes. I'm not sure how I
would debug this. The other five programs I tried with this finished
within 5 seconds. I would expect the depth on this program to be no
more than 10 levels, probably closer to 5.

In the looping case, for which the CYCLE specifications apparently could
not properly stop the iterative processing of recursion, what was the
result set for the initialization SELECT; i.e. what was the result-set of
the following query, replacing :iObject with the the program name
specified
as the value for which the looping was exhibited as the effect?:

select WHFNAM, WHOTYP, WHLNAM, WHPNAM
from PGMREFS
where WHFNAM = :iObject
and WHLNAM not in('QSYS', 'QGPL')

And what was the Display Program References (DSPPGMREF) that generated
the data for the Output File (OUTFILE) named PGMREFS that was referenced
in
the above SELECT?

Just a SWAG, but if the following predicate was appended, ANDed as
composed, to the above query, does the problematic looping persist or is
the issue resolved?:
and WHFNAM <> WHPNAM
