FWD: AS400 "Object Xref" File? Thanks!

[Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx]

Thank you ALL for your valuable opinions.  I think that I'll go with the DSPOBJD
route.  However, I want to say that, in my humble opinion, this type of xref
file is very, very useful.  I think that instead of having a file like QADBXREF,
IBM should have a ONE-VERTEBRA-COLUMN FILE with all the basic OBJECTS
information on the AS400 and this should include the pertinent and basic
information, depending on the object type.

Besides, we now have a "big server" with "object-oriented" infrastructure,
right?

Thank you all and have a great day!!

Subject: AS400 "Object Xref" File?


Hello everyone!

I know that file QADBXREF (AS400 Cross Reference Physical File) gives you a
trace for every single file on the AS400.  Is there an equivalent file that
deals with the rest of the objects?  I have a workfile with the results of a
DSPPGMREF command and I want to use a query to display the description of
all the objects used on that program in one shot.

Thanks is advance!
