Hi John
the one 'gotcha' (maybe) on this procedure is where the program in question is called by using either the QCMDEXC api or the System() api
I'm not too sure that this would appear in the DSPPGMREF cross reference

Subject: Re: How can i tell what is call a program

Hi, John:

For each "library" on your system that contains applications programs that might CALL one of those vendor programs, issue:

DSPPGMREF PGM(library/*ALL) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OBJTYPE(*PGM) +
OUTFILE(yourlib/DSPPGMREF) OUTMBR(*FIRST *ADD)

Once you have added the cross-reference datas for all of the application libraries to this cross-reference output file, you can query it to determine what programs "use" (CALL) the ones in question. (For this example, I will use the name "TGTPGM01" as an example of one of those
programs of interest.) You could use Query/400, or STRSQL, or even
write an RPG program, to find the results.

The following is an example using SQL:

select OBJNAM, OBJLIB
from yourlib/DSPPGMREF
where OBRNAM = 'TSTPGM01' and OBRTYP = '*PGM'

Does that help?

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

We have a 3rd party application on our system that hasn't been updated in years. I can see about 18 programs within the 3rd party application library that are being used on a daily basis. Is there a way I can tell what is calling those programs?
