Re: Field "where used"

[GUY_HENZA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

A "roll your own" tool might be something like this...

            PGM        PARM(&STRING)
            DCL        VAR(&STRING) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(20)
            DCLF       FILE(QTEMP/DSPFDFILE)
            DSPFD      FILE(*ALLUSR/Q*) TYPE(*MBRLIST) +
                         OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(QTEMP/DSPFDFILE)
LOOP:       RCVF
            MONMSG     MSGID(CPF9999) EXEC(GOTO CMDLBL(END))
            FNDSTRPDM  STRING(&STRING) FILE(&MLLIB/&MLFILE) +
                         MBR(&MLNAME) OPTION(*DSP)
            MONMSG     MSGID(CPF9999)
            GOTO       CMDLBL(LOOP)
END:        ENDPGM

Hello, Don:

Unfortunately, no such animal is "built-in" to i5/OS or OS/400.

You can either "roll your own" tool or buy one of the "impact analysis"
tools, such as:

    Help Systems   Abstract
    Hawkeye           Pathfinder
    Databorough    X-Analysis
    etc.

There are probably many others; these are just the top ones that come to
mind.

Cheers,

Mark S. Waterbury
