Re: Check usage for external stored procedure

Hi Justin

This is an interesting question - there is no usage attached to the stored procedure itself that I know of, since it is just a record in a table.

Now there is the plan cache, and there's a system-wide one, right? There might be something there.

I know the actual RPGLE object is used natively. I'm just trying to determine if the stored procedure is being used. The stored procedure callers would be external to IBMi, so searching local source code won't help me.

Would the usage information on the *PGM object description help?

The thing about stored procedures is that they can be invoked from any client that can execute SQL. Stored procedures can be invoked by static SQL in native code ... but they can also be invoked using dynamic SQL.

Other than the object description information, you could to a FNDSTRPDM to search fo occurrences of the procedures name.
