In our shop, we have cross-reference reports that list where program (*PGM) objects are called from. In our case, they can come from CL or RPG programs. We generate the reports by using the Display Program Reference (DSPPGMREF) command. Although we only use CL and RPG, some other languages can also be referenced. I've included a list of the languages and the object types that the DSPPGMREF commands is able to cross-reference. See 1.
