The Display Program References (DSPPGMREF) command provides a list of the system objects referred to by the specified programs. The following list shows the system objects provided for the respective program types:

BASIC

*FILE (externally described) and *PGM

C

no information is provided for C-language programs except for ILE C-language programs (CLE)

CBLLE

*FILE, *PGM, and *SRVPGM

CL

*FILE, *PGM, and *DTAARA

CLE

*SRVPGM

CLLE

*FILE, *PGM, *DTAARA, and *SRVPGM

COBOL

*FILE and *PGM (literal names on CALL command)

CSP

*FILE, *PGM, *MSGF, *CSPMAP, and *CSPTBL

PASCAL

no information is provided for programs in PASCAL

PL/I

*FILE and *PGM

RPG

*FILE, *DTAARA, and *PGM

RPGLE

*FILE, *PGM, *DTAARA, and *SRVPGM

This information can be displayed, printed, or placed in a database output file.

If the information is shown or printed, a list (by library) of the specified user-authorized programs, along with the objects referenced by each program, is created. For files, information about how each file is used (input, output, update, unspecified, or any combination of these four) is also shown or printed.

If the information is written to a database file, the database file will have a record format named QWHDRPPR. The fields in record format QWHDRPPR are the same as the fields in the IBM-supplied format QWHDRPPR in file QADSPPGM in the library QSYS. The following information is contained in the database file:

• The name of the program and its text description
• The name of the library containing the program
• The number of objects referenced by the program
• The qualified name of the system object
• The information retrieval dates
• The object type of the referenced object

For files, the record contains the following additional fields:

• The name of the file in the program (possibly different from the system object name if an override was in effect when the program was created)
• The program use of the file (1=input, 2=output, 4=update, 8=unspecified, or a number representing a combination of any of these four; for example, a code of 11 is a combination of 1, 2, and 8, which is input, output, and unspecified)
• The number of record formats referenced, if any
• The name of the record format used by the file and its record format level identifier
• The number of fields referenced for each format

Note: This command lists which objects are referenced when the object is created or updated using UPDPGM or UPDSRVPGM. The referenced object names and libraries listed may be different than the actual names of the objects, since this information is stored when the program is created. Entries can be added as the ILE program or service program is updated using UPDPGM or UPDSRVPGM, but entries are never removed. If the object has been moved since the program was created, or an override was in effect during creation, the names listed may differ from the actual names.

Restrictions:

1. The user must have object operational authority for the program.
2. Also, of the libraries specified by the library qualifier, only the libraries for which the user has read authority are searched for the programs.

Top

Program (PGM)

Specifies the name and library of the programs whose information is shown.

This is a required parameter.

The possible values for program name are:

program-name

Specify the full name of a program. Information is shown only for the specified program.

generic*-program-name

Specify a generic program name. Information is shown for all programs whose names begin with the specified characters.

*ALL

The information is shown for all programs in the library or libraries.

Qualifier 2: Library

*LIBL

All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the thread is searched. If no library is specified as the current library for the thread, the QGPL library is searched.

*USRLIBL

If a current library entry exists in the library list for the current thread, the current library and the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched. If there is no current library entry, only the libraries in the user portion of the library list are searched.

*ALLUSR

All user libraries are searched. All libraries with names that do not begin with the letter Q are searched except for the following:

#CGULIB     #DSULIB     #SEULIB
#COBLIB     #RPGLIB
#DFULIB     #SDALIB

Although the following Qxxx libraries are provided by IBM, they typically contain user data that changes frequently. Therefore, these libraries are considered user libraries and are also searched:

QDSNX       QRCLxxxxx   QUSRIJS     QUSRVxRxMx
QGPL        QSRVAGT     QUSRINFSKR
QGPL38      QSYS2       QUSRNOTES
QMGTC       QSYS2xxxxx  QUSROND
QMGTC2      QS36F       QUSRPOSGS
QMPGDATA    QUSER38     QUSRPOSSA
QMQMDATA    QUSRADSM    QUSRPYMSVR
QMQMPROC    QUSRBRM     QUSRRDARS
QPFRDATA    QUSRDIRCL   QUSRSYS
QRCL        QUSRDIRDB   QUSRVI

1. 'xxxxx' is the number of a primary auxiliary storage pool (ASP).
2. A different library name, in the format QUSRVxRxMx, can be created by the user for each previous release supported by IBM to contain any user commands to be compiled in a CL program for the previous release. For the QUSRVxRxMx user library, VxRxMx is the version, release, and modification level of a previous release that IBM continues to support.

*ALL

All libraries in the system, including QSYS, are searched.

name

Specify the name of the library to be searched.

Output (OUTPUT)

Specifies whether the output from the command is displayed at the requesting work station or printed with the job's spooled output.

*

The output is displayed (if requested by an interactive job) or printed with the job's spooled output (if requested by a batch job).

*PRINT

The output is printed with the job's spooled output.

*OUTFILE

The output is directed to the database output file specified on the File to receive output prompt (OUTFILE parameter).

Object type (OBJTYPE)

Specifies the object type for which information is displayed.

The possible values are:

*PGM

Only program information is displayed.

*ALL

Program information and SQL package information are displayed.

*SQLPKG

Only SQL package information is displayed.

*SRVPGM

Service program information is displayed.

*MODULE

Module information is displayed.

File to receive output (OUTFILE)

Specifies the name and library of the database output file to which the output of the command is directed. If the file does not exist, this command creates a database output file in the specified library.

The possible library values are:

*LIBL

All libraries in the library list for the current thread are searched until the first match is found.

*CURLIB

The current library for the job is used to locate the file. If no current entry exists in the library list, QGPL is used.

library-name

Specify the name of the library where the file is located.

Note: The outfile format must be the same as QWHDRPPR of the system file QADSPPGM. More information on the OUTFILE format is in the Database information in the iSeries Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/infocenter book.

Output member options (OUTMBR)

Specifies the name of the database file member that receives the output of the command.

The possible values are:

*FIRST

The first member in the file receives the output. If no members exist in the file, the system creates a member with the name of the file specified in the File to receive output prompt (OUTFILE parameter).

member-name

Specify the name of the file member that receives the output. If the name does not exist, the system creates it.

The possible values for how information is stored are:

*REPLACE

The output data replaces any existing records in the specified file member.

*ADD

The output data is added to the end of existing records in the specified file member.

Examples

Example 1: Storing a List of Programs

DSPPGMREF   PGM(LIBRARY1/*ALL)  OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
            OUTFILE(LIB2/FILE2)

This command creates a list of all authorized programs found in LIBRARY1, and of the files and other system objects that the programs reference. It stores the list in a database file named FILE2 in LIB2.

Example 2: Printing a List of Objects

DSPPGMREF   PGM(LIBRARY1/BILLING)  OUTPUT(*PRINT)

This command creates a list of system objects that are referenced by the BILLING program in LIBRARY1. The output is spooled for printing.
