Yes, it does. All spec types.

Does Pathfinder handle free-form RPG?

Pathfinder does support embedded SQL. I think it was several years ago they added it. So if I have the following in my RPG program:--
----------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------
EXEC SQL
Select CusName into :wkName from CusMs where CusCode =
:peSelectCode;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------- then Pathfinder will show me this
program as one which uses file CusMs as input, and also as one which
uses fields CusName and CusCode should I want the usage of either of
those fields. (It also now handles fully free-form RPG.)
What it doesn't handle (unless I've missed something) is SQL definition of files (as in the recent discussion of DDL vs DDS). It expects file specs to be in DDS source, and after changing source, I can ask it to rebuild the file(s) along with any dependent logicals, as well as recompile all using programs. If I were managing my files with other than DDS, I would have to do the file rebuilds some other way and then have Pathfinder just do the program compiles.

A previous shop I was in two years ago had Pathfinder, and I found it lacking because it did not extract any field or file references from embedded SQL. I don't remember what release it was at, but I believe this shop kept all of their software up to date. I would love to be proven wrong because, in the past (before embedded SQL), I found this tool to be invaluable.
