Hi,

Just wanted to know the proper option or process through which we can find the reference of a sub - program that is reffered in different programs. I searched a lot in predict but could not find anything

Appreciate if anyone can let me know how to search for other objects that are referencing this subprogram or any natural object

Thanks  
Smruti Kanta

Presuming that you have cross-referencing turned on as the default (XREF=Y), then you can retrieve that data (stored in Predict) via the “L X” Natural command.

If necessary, set XREF=Y and CATALL to generate the data for all modules.
