Re: DSP PGM REF Opposite

Lots of 'DspCrossReference' commands exists. 

On the News/400 shareware list I found:
"Public doamin. The Cross-Reference (XREF) command retrieves program
object usage, object usage cross reference, and program where-used data
for any object on your system. The XREF output can be viewed, printed,
or output to a database file Submitted: 15 Jul 1996"

I use a homebrew'n one. Not good enough to publish by now though.

At least two of my customeres have each their own homebrew'n ones.

I guess that they all works on an DSPPGMREF to a permanent file
(updated when a program is ...?? and/or rebuild in total once every
...? )


You write: 
"I also wonder how many layers deep a call structure is prudent to be
taken.."
I have a DOCPGMSTR command (Freeware with source
http://hkrebs.dk/docpgmstr.html) using an on-the-fly DSPPGMREF to
outfile. Working with that I found that batch programs are nested
normally only to 3-4 levels max and online programs three or four
levels deeper (for special functions like F1 etc..). Add to this of
cause a few levels extra for SLIC-programs. My command defaults to
'Limit display to 9 levels' allthough it can go up to 99.

Then - what is 'prudent'?

Four considerations for those who want to build their own DSPXREF:
 o Homebrewn commands and their CPP's are not included in DSPPGMREF
 o DSPPGMREF list the logical file, not the physical(s)
 o Files used as an external datastructure are not included
 o File overrides and variable program names!

Subject: DSP PGM REF Opposite

Is there an IBM command that tells me other direction from DSPPGMREF?
I would key in some command (I am making this up <G>) like 
DSPCALLME ORD561

and it would print a report like DSPGMREF that tells me what programs
call 
ORD561

DSPPGMREF tells me what program objects are called down 1 level
I sure would like a variant that shows me a particular kind of program
object 
down more than 1 level in an indented tree structure
I imagine there are shareware solutions out there

Currently my users get ORD561 report every time they do shipping
documents 
ORD595 & ORD596 which I am told comes from ORD590 menu option, and they
want 
me to modify ORD561 PRTF overrides & I am having a hard time tracing
where 
that is in the ORD590 flow, so either the users are mistaken or I am
missing 
something.

The menu calls ORD590C CLP
ORD590C calls ORD590 RPG which is a rather large program
ORD590 calls ORD591C CLP for each set of shipping documents
ORD591C OverPRTF's ORD595O & ORD596O & calls ORD591 ORD592 ORD593
ORD592 & ORD593 are alternative ways to process shipping documents &
both of 
them call ORD595 & ORD596 which are two kinds of shipping documents

I continue to look into other stuff that gets called but so far have
not dug 
up the buried treasure of where ORD561 is called & there is another
player 
ORD597 that I need to locate also because ORD590 is normal shipping &
there 
is also a path involving reprinting of corrected shipping documents

I also wonder how many layers deep a call structure is prudent to be
taken in 
concert with tools normally found in a typical 400 shop.

I expect that I could do a DSPPGMREF *ALL to an *OUTFILE then try to
navigate 
the resulting mess via Query or even SQL ... show me all primary hits
with 
this program name, then all secondary hits on the primary hitees.

I thought I would ask first ... there may already be a DSPCALLME out
there 
with some other name that I have overlooked.
