I missed that there was an optional third parm for object name.

Adding the object name made the results return almost immediate.

Thanks.

I am in the early stages of writing a small archiving program. The user (IT

a screen showing every location of every type of object that matches the

anywhere that if finds a source member with that name. The user will then

be able to select what should or should not be archived. What else they

want on the screen has yet to be defined. I will guess that at some point

when it finds a physical file that they will want to see all of the logical

files too.





If I use the following SQL, it chugs FOREVER (it is still running after 15

minutes).


select objlib, objtype, objtext


from table(object_statistics('*ALLUSR','*ALL'))


where objname = 'SOMEOBJECT'





If I do dspobjd obj(*allusr/someobject) objtype(*all) output(*outfile)

outfile(qtemp/dspobjd), it returns in a second or two.





So, a few questions.


1. Why is the SQL statement so slow?

2. Before I spend time writing a program to use the QUSLOBJ API, does

anyone know if it runs about as fast as DSPOBJD or is it more in line with

the time of the SQL because of the amount of information that it returns

3. Is there another way to retrieve this info that I'm not thinking of?
