Pardon me for asking the obvious question: Why is it that something 
straightforward and simple like running grep in QShell against you source 
doesn't do the job? Also, almost every IDE nowadays has a variety of 
project search features that should allow you to produce simple usage 
reports. For example, a listing of what classes are making calls to either 
standard java File or the access package's IFSFile, SequentialFile, or 
something like QSYSObjectPathName should give you some help.
