A "roll your own" tool might be something like this...

PGM PARM(&STRING)
DCL VAR(&STRING) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)
DCLF FILE(QTEMP/DSPFDFILE)
DSPFD FILE(*ALLUSR/Q*) TYPE(*MBRLIST) +
OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPFDFILE)
LOOP: RCVF
MONMSG MSGID(CPF9999) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(END))
FNDSTRPDM STRING(&STRING) FILE(&MLLIB/&MLFILE) +
MBR(&MLNAME) OPTION(*DSP)
MONMSG MSGID(CPF9999)
GOTO CMDLBL(LOOP)
END: ENDPGM

Hello, Don:

Unfortunately, no such animal is "built-in" to i5/OS or OS/400.

You can either "roll your own" tool or buy one of the "impact analysis"
tools, such as:

Help Systems Abstract
Hawkeye Pathfinder
Databorough X-Analysis
etc.

There are probably many others; these are just the top ones that come to
mind.

Cheers,

Mark S. Waterbury
