Loyd,

Try using DSPPGMREF to an output file on all the programs. You can then link the programs together in a call tree. if any calls were made with variable names or with another command besides a program call (submit job) then that reference won't be listed. The output file will also be cluttered with Synon utility programs but those can be removed.

Subject: How to trace program calls?

I have a maze of Synon programs for which I would like to map the call
structure. This is a vendor product and we do not have the model.
From a menu option, a prompt program runs, followed by a verifier program,
then the job is submitted to batch or run interactively. All of these are
different programs.
I would like to map the menu option program all the way through its process.


Basically, a report showing:

Initial program: PGMA
PGM A
* PGMA1
* PGMB1
** PGMB3
** PGMC3

Here, PGM A calls PGM A1 and B1. PGM B1 calls B3 and C3.

We use Aldon for source control, but only for the few vendor programs we
modify.

I apologize if this is vague...

Thanks,
Loyd
