AS400 RPG Scanning Question

Does anyone out there know of any utility available that can look at an
AS400 program directory, scan the RPG code and return results of only the
programs that have specific criteria back?  We have 5,200 RPG programs and I
bet at least 4,000 are just reports.  We have 4900 files of which I believe
at least 3500 are no longer used.  The environment has been built over many
years and nothing has been purged.  I now want to upgrade to a non-green
screen environment but want to purge the out stuff not being used.  So I
want to scan the code and look for the programs that only match criteria
such as a printer for output.  Do you know of any utility or can you point
me in the right direction?

 

I have asked IBM and a friendly rep advised using DSPPGMREF (Display Program
References) creating an output file and then downloading it to the PC for
investigating.

Does anyone have any other ideas?
