Re: Sql query to find whole call stack of programs

Hi,

Thanks for all these inputs but what I am looking for is neither a live or
past joblog. What I want is a complete call stack for all the involved
programs from the main program something siilar like which we get by using
DSPPGMREF (but problem here is again the program and module objects which
are being referred from the main program , i need to again look inside
those programs and modules whether they are calling some other programs or
modules so by doing this again and again manually is becoming too hard)

i tried this 'SELECT * FROM
TABLE(QSYS2.STACK_INFO('123456/JOBNAME/JOBUSER')) based on the job( by
mentioning its corresponding job details) which ended in the system few
days back but this command ended in error with message id 'CPF503E'. "An
error occurred while invoking the associated program or service program
.........in library QSYS with error code 1- "the external program or
service program returned SQLSTATE 42704. The text message returned from the
program is : job (my job details) NOT FOUND".

I don't have any hawkeye or aldon tool available to analyze all these
impacted programs.

Though I can see this job's completion history in the ROBOT Job log but
from there also it's very difficult to read all the joblog and filter out
all the called programs and modules names from there.

From DSPJOB How to get such called programs and all the modules list which

are invoked by this main driver program? it will just show again a joblog
which will be containg many pages to read and filter out all the programs
and modules names from it.



Thanks.

Hi Eric

I think the OP wants to know the live job call history - option 11 on
DSPJOB - this might also show IBM programs in the job.

The cross-reference tools are great for just what you describe - we use
Abstract, and I've been able to get very helpful call stream diagrams,
very useful for learning an entire process.

Cheers
Vern

Why reinvent the wheel?
Cross-reference code tools have existed forever for IBMi: e.g. Hawkeye

PATHfinder (https://hawkinfo.com/features/ , and Aldon S-Compare
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldon_Inc.

Thousands of hours of developer time were required in building those

utilities.

If you are referring to programs having source in multi-member source

physical files like QRPGSRC, QRPGLESRC, QCBLSRC, QCBLLESRC, you "could"
override to each source member iteratively e.g OVRDBF FILE(QRPGLESRC)
TOFILE(QGPL/QRPGLESRC) MBR(PROOF) and search that member with STRSQL, and
DLTOVR after viewing each member.

But why invest time in building your own ad hoc tool?

Let's say program A is calling B and Bis calling C like wise there is a

chain up to let's say 100 programs.

So in a single SQL query can i get all these program names?
