RE: Procedure List

Scott,
The issue is that if they decide (later) that a proc is a good candidate for
a service program, they can move it without the need to change the existing
code. This is not a highly structure shop so they want to avoid mass
recompiles and just make sure they don't duplicate procedure names,
generally speaking, not for every proc, but some. I will probably have to
live with just doing it for *SRVPGMs.

I don't understand why you want to do this. DSPPGM/DSPSRVPGM/APIs only
list the exported procedures from a program, that's true.  But, there's no
chance for a procedure name to conflict unless it's exported!   So, why do
you need to know about the ones that aren't exported?

I doubt it.   Remember, those names are just to make life easier for
humans... a procedure is normally just an address in memory.   I don't
really see why the program object would still contain the names after a
compile?  Unless they're exported, of course, in which case other programs
have a need to get their addresses after the program has already been
compiled.

The only other idea I can think of is the debugger APIs.  Perhaps they
have a way to get the procedure names that are used during debug sessions,
or maybe the names used for error messages...
