    Just FYI for now, customers can use the PGMREFS Table function in #SQLTOOLS to do this exact feature. We even published the code over on LinkedIn a few weeks ago. But you can use the prebuilt version from #SQLTools by downloading it from the website.

    IBM will use this request as input to planning but no commitment is made or implied. This request will be updated in the future if IBM implements it.

    IBM has received the requirement and is evaluating it. IBM will provide a response after evaluation is complete.

    Would be nice and useful to manipulate the data set natively with SQL (call and dependency graph built using recursive queries).

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. A service to display what DSPPGMREF has would simplify understanding object file usage.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac
