Re: Get program's list called in a batch job

Create a library (I.E. TRACELIB) to store the trace and then a small CL
like this one:


STRTRC SSNID(*GEN) JOB((*)) MAXSTG(100000) JOBTRCTYPE(*FLOW)

CALL PGM(MYLIB/MYPGM)

ENDTRC SSNID(*PRV) OPTION(*END)
DTALIB(TRACELIB) PRTTRC(*YES)

If the batch program is not too long (otherwise you can increase the value
in MAXSTG but there is a limit) you'll find a printout with everything the
batch program has done. Convert it to text and filter it, excluding
everything system-related from the calls (Library beginning with Q).

Alternatively you can use the files produced in the TRACELIB library but
you should consult the documentation, an example could be:

SELECT a.QRECN,
a.QTBTBT,
a.QTBHLL,
a.QTBCHL,
a.QTBEVM,
a.QTBCLL,
b.QPRPGN,
b.QPRPQL,
b.QPRTY,
b.QPRSTY,
b.QPRPMD,
b.QPRMNM,
b.QPRMQL,
b.QPRPNM,
b.QPRLNG,
b.QPRPSP,
b.QPRPTI,
b.QPRPFT,
b.QPRPTC,
c.QTITSP,
c.QTITIMN,
c.QTIECY
FROM tracelib/QAYPETBRKT AS a
JOIN tracelib/QAYPEPROCI AS b
ON a.qtbtbt = b.qprkey
AND SUBSTR(b.QPRPQL, 1, 1) NOT IN ('Q', ' ')
JOIN tracelib/QAYPETIDX AS c
ON a.qrecn = c.qrecn;

Not tested or guaranteed, it is definitely safer to use the spool file.

Hi Jim
Thanks for your reply
Be patient but what do you mean with "PEX trace " ??
Could you please show me an example for TRACE commands (STR - END ecce cc)
and how to read with SQL ??
Keep in mind i'm runnign V7R4
Thanks in advance
Gio

A PEX trace will get you the raw data, then use SQL to ferret out the

calls.

Used to do that quite a bit back in the day, but I’ve lost the SQL since

then

Do you mean a list of programs that a specific program calls, the

current call stack, or something else?

I mean this : at the end of job, i would like for example to have a

list of all the call executed in that job ..

Thanks

I’m not aware of any way to do that kind of thing … there are API’s to

get the call stack.

You can use the DSPPGMREF command to see what programs are referenced.

There are also a number of utilities available that do static program

call analysis … like hawkeye, abstract/probe, & x-analysis.
