RE: how to find which are RPG cycle programs

I think you should be able to use PDM option 25 to scan source for 'IP'
(input primary) in RPG specific positions of the Fspec (depending if OPM or
ILE source type). To my knowledge 'true' use of the cycle reqires Input
Primary coding on an F spec (and yes pograms that use input full procedural
do use the cycle, just not the benefits built into the cycle that are
available using input primary). Hope this helps.

You could use grep in QSH on the source members - don't know whether it
needs to account for the date and sequence fields.
