That is exactly what we do for years. We prefix the procedure name with the name of the module and we use a Change Management System (CMOne) along with a cross reference tool (eXplain).
Our /copy books look like this:
* Prüft, ob die angegebene Zeichenkette mit dem angegebenen Prefix
* beginnt.
D f_startsWith...
D PR N
D extproc('SY0003N+
D _f_startsWith+
D ')
D i_prefix 4096A const varying
D i_string 4096A const varying
That is also nice, when displaying the imports of a module, e.g.:
Imported (unresolved) symbols:
Symbol Name Symbol Type ARGOPT
AL0348N_cvtNumDateToEurFmt PROCEDURE *NO
DB0570N_deleteAFAVKO PROCEDURE *NO
AL0348N_f_addFaWerktage PROCEDURE *NO
AL0406N_f_APPATR_getSpr PROCEDURE *NO
SY0003N_f_center PROCEDURE *NO
DB0210N_f_chainAKKOPF PROCEDURE *NO
DB0090N_f_chainAKKUND PROCEDURE *NO
DB0009N_f_chainALKO PROCEDURE *NO
AL0309N_f_ChainDIV6 PROCEDURE *NO

Betreff: rdi and external procedure lookup

For those that know RDI well..
when in a source member and you come across a call to an external procedure, what feature do you use in RDI to quickly find out what module that procedure lives in?
I've heard there is a way but cannot find it.
I'm used to always putting a module name prefix at the beginning of the procedure name which is very helpful when you have heavy ILE integration for the program. Multiple BNNDDIR's, modules, and srvpgms to look through can be time consuming.
