RELATED IDEAS

List procedures that a program uses in PROGRAM_EXPORT_IMPORT_INFO

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Despite the name, the PROGRAM_EXPORT_IMPORT_INFO does not actually list the procedures imported by a program. 

This is important because, when the signature of a procedure changes, all programs that import (use) the procedure must be changed. 

Important for: 

  • Auditors
    What programs are importing security related procedures
  • DevOps providers
    Visualize the usage of procedures

Looking at the API, I believe that the following symbols are missing:

  • *PROCIMP
    A procedure imported by this program.
  • *DTAIMP
    A data item imported by this program.

One additional field must be added 

  • IMPORTED_FROM_MODULE
    The name of the bound module that exports the procedure or data item
