Re: RAR Downstream

Al

Do a
DSPPGMREF PGM(BPCSPGMLIB/*ALL)
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(YOURQGPL/PGMREF)

Then you can query file PGMREF to find all the pgms that reference file RAR (or any other file).
The WHFUSG filed in PGMREF will tell you whether a pgm is using the file for Input/Output or Update.

Hope this helps,
