File/Pgm where used

[p.behr]

Is there an API or tool available that can be used to show file and program where-used information for NAB apps? It would be handy to know where a particular database file or RPG helper program is being used.

I'm assuming it's likely available in some VV* files somewhere, but don't want to build my own solution in case the files change.

Also assuming for hand-coded (non-NAB) apps that it would be a matter of greping through the .js files looking for the ExtJS.AJAX calls.

Thanks!

There is not currently an API that you can call to retrieve this information. We can add this to our feature list though.

File VVQRY400 will show you the programs called for any particular NAB app.
Files used are stored at the data source level in file VVDTA200. You can determine which data sources are used by a NAB app via file VVQRY300 (type D = Data Source).

There are upcoming changes for file VVQRY300 so as you mentioned it would be ideal to have an API as anything you did now may not work once the changes are included.
