One of the additional options of PDM you can get is the 'Application
Dictionary Manager'. Once you set it up, it keeps a complete, up-to-date
cross reference of file dependencies, programs calls, file accesses, etc. It
can even be configured to rebuild dependant chains of objects, or you can
just print lists and do it your self.

Its interesting how often this question pops up on this list, and even
though IBM supplies just such a tool, no-one buys it. (AFAIK, it is being
discontinued.)

Go figure.
