SQL Table function for DSPPGMREF

For health checks of application test and production environments.

Preventing level-check errors depends on verifying the file format level ids as stored in compiled programs match the ones of referenced files in the library list for an application.

To report mismatches, I have several utilities in place.
All of these use the old style method of running DSPPGMREF into an outfile and then using that outfile in a SQL query against the format level-ids of the corresponding files in the librarylist for a test- or production environment.

It would be much easier if a SQL table function were made available with the same output as the DSPPGMREF produces.
Can you maybe add this to the existing set of IBM i SQL Table functions?

best,
Djurre Postma
