Hi,
I have one child segment in IMS DB and i need to find if it is read in any of the program or not.
I tried searching one-by-one in few programs but this child segment is not mentioned instead its parent segment is read.

Is there any other way than manually checking one by one in all programs to confirm if child segment is read or not ?

Thanks,
Priyanka

Why do it manually? Why not use the search utility - 3.14 on my system.

I did srchfor with segment name. And then started checking program by program(as few programs were only mentioned segment name in comment and not actually reading it) and got 1-2 programs reading that segment.

You said "Somehow" so I wondered how did you get it if not 3.14 (SRCHFOR). Thanks.

Your version/change control software (endevor/changeman/whatever) should also be able to find all occurrences.

all depends ..
only if the segment layout is a standalone copybook/source

but the same result can be obtained - with the same assumption - under plain good ole ISPF by invoking the member parts list,
which can produce a formatted printout or a raw dataset that can be processed by a user program ( rexx would be a good candidate )

Go start your own thread. Do not hijack that of other people.

If yours would have been a duplicate why post it? Why not simply try the suggestions posted here?
