The Scan RPG Field 2 command finds all references to a specified
field name in a member, generic members, or all members in a source
file. Only RPG source types (including RPGLE) are searched for. If
the specified field is found to change the data in another field, the
derived field is also searched for. The command is useful for
determining the progress of a field and its data through a program.
A typical command would be:
SCNRPGFLD2 FLDNAME(UDATE) SRCMBR(ABC*) SRCFILE(QRPGSRC)
All references to UDATE would be found in the generic member names
beginning with ABC. If the UDATE data was used to change another
field such as a MOVE from UDATE to YY, the YY field would also be
searched for. The field that was changed is termed a 'derived
field'. If the YY field were moved to field ZZ, the ZZ field would
also be scanned for, etc.
A spooled file would be created with each statement listed where the
scan field or a derived field is referenced.
If you are scanning for the field named BBB and an RPG statement
moves the data from field AAA to BBB, AAA is not considered to be a
derived field. Derived fields occur only when the data in the field
you named is used to change a result field. This excludes the use of
index fields or modifiers such as used on CAT operations.
If the field being scanned for is a sub field in an internal data
structure, any overlapping fields are also considered 'derived' and
will be scanned for as well as the data structure name. If the
internal data structure name is the result field of a scanned for
field, both the data structure name and all fields within the
internal data structure are considered 'derived'.
Fields within an externally described data structure are not
considered 'derived' if the name of the data structure is changed.
Overlapped fields within OPM Input Specifications are also considered
to be derived fields.
If the specified source file contains source types other than RPG
types, they are bypassed. The processed source types are RPG, RPGLE,
RPG36, RPG38, RPT, SQLRPG, SQLRPGLE, SQLRPGMOD, and RPGMOD.
Command parameters *CMD
------------------
FLDNAME The field name to be searched for. An exact
comparison must exist (the field is not scanned).
If a field is used in an operation such as MOVE to
change a result field, the result field is known as
a 'derived field'. The derived field is also
searched for and any fields derived from the derived
field.
SRCMBR The member to be searched. Either a specific
member, a generic member name, or the special value
*ALL may be specified. If a generic member name or
*ALL is entered, only RPG type source members
(including RPGLE) are searched.
SRCFILE The qualified file name of the source file. QRPGSRC
is the default. The library value defaults to
*LIBL. *CURLIB may also be used.
SPLFILES The number of spooled files that will be output.
The default is *ONE. The default must be used when
a single member is specified.
If you have specified a generic set of members or
all members, you have a choice as to whether the
output will be one spooled file with information
from all members or a separate spooled file for each
member. To provide a separate spooled file for each
member, specify *MULT.
Restrictions
------------
Valid RPG source must exist.
Statements copied by /COPY are not considered.
