RE: PGMREF and non-IBM Commands

Henrik,

I've never used it, but the QCDRCMDI API should help you.

Can anybody suggest how to make this easier?

I shall expand an (one of many in house written) x-ref system. This is
a typical system that - based on output to file from DSPPGMREF  plus
several extensions already - answers the 'Where used?'.

In reality the needed extention is a matter of putting CPP's for in
house written commands in the same outfile as the one loaded by
DSPPGMREF.

One solution is:
  o DSPOBJD xxxx/*ALL *CMD into an outfile
  o PRTCMDUSG (several times if more than 50 commands) to a
     spoolfile, then move to a DB-file and then another DB-file
  o DSPCMD to a spoolfile, then move to a DB-file and then another
     DB-file to get the CPP (I know you can do this in MI, but I
can't)
  o Finally an HLL program to add records to the same file as used by
DSPPGMREF.

Another solution:
  o Add a constant parameter to each command definition:
      PARM  KWD(CPP) TYPE(*CHAR) CONSTANT(MyPgm) PGM(*YES)
  o Add a dummy parameter to the CPP to recieve the new parameter
  o Recompile all programs before running the update of Program
References.

None of theese seems very easy. Does anybody have any good ideas to
improve this, including IBM API's to do some of the tasks.
