IMHO, Level Checking is one of the shining
features of the AS/400.

I understand where you're coming from, and
I completely agree with the basic idea, but
consider my particulars: 

* No documentation tool.  Finding all the
programs that reference a file is an
arduous chore.

         ------------

Just out of curiosity - why can't you set
your LIBL for the app in question,
DSPPGMREF *USRLIBL/*ALL to an outfile, then
query for the file name (actually, the
record format name is what counts, but why
quibble)?  A built in system tool, although
multiple instances of a pgm in the LIBL
does make things a bit tricky ("which one
of these puppies is gonna get called?") At
any rate, it's what I used for ferreting
out LVLCHK's before we got Pathfinder here
and it works pretty well.
