Using the PDM option to see object use

I often want to know when a program or object was last used, or if ever used, so I can determine if it can be archived and deleted.

In PDM, set this program up as option DO by pressing F16
Option: DO
Command: call @dspobjd (&l &n &t 'Y')

The final parameter controls whether or not you see the actual DSPOBJD screen, or just want the last use information to appear on the 25th line of the screen. 

 
 /* Modified front end for dspobjd for use as pdm
option */                   
pgm parm(&library &name &type &quiet)

 

 dcl &library *char 10

 dcl &type *char 10

 dcl &quiet *char 1 /* quiet=1 means no dspobjd, 25th line msg */

 dcl &name *char 10

 dcl &lastuse  *char 7

 dcl &usage    *char 20

 

 if (%sst(&type 1 3) *eq 'RPG') chgvar &type '*PGM'  /* rpg, rpgle */

 if (%sst(&type 1 3) *eq 'SQL') chgvar &type '*PGM'  /* sqlrpg, sqlrpgle */  
 if (%sst(&type 1 2) *eq 'CL') chgvar &type '*PGM'   /* clp, clle */

 if (%sst(&type 2 1) *eq 'F') chgvar &type '*FILE'   /* pf, lf, pf38,
lf38 */
 if (%sst(&type 1 3) *eq 'DSP') chgvar &type '*FILE' /* dspf */

 

 if (&quiet *ne 'Y') then(do)

    dspobjd &library/&name &type

    monmsg cpf2105 exec(goto tryagain)

 enddo

    rtvobjd obj(&library/&name) objtype(&type) usedate(&lastuse)

    monmsg (cpf9811 cpf9812) exec(goto done)

    goto notify

 

 tryagain: /* library was wrong? */

    if (&quiet *ne 'Y') then(do)

      dspobjd &name &type

      monmsg cpf2105 exec(goto error)

    enddo

    rtvobjd obj(&name) objtype(&type) usedate(&lastuse) rtnlib(&library)

    monmsg (cpf9811 cpf9812) exec(goto done)

    chgvar &library ('*' *tcat &library *tcat '*')

    goto notify
