The Document Program Structure (DOCPGMSTR) command for IBM iSeries 400 (AS/400)

Some of the happy(?) users of my DOCRPGSRC-command have asked me if I had a command like it, but not showing the nesting of subroutines, but the call structure of programs. I hadn't, but it is quite easy to make, so here it is.

The Document Program Structure (DOCPGMSTR) command for IBM iSeries 400 (AS/400) serves to give an overview on nesting of programs calling other programs.
The overview is shown at a workstation, on a printerlist or loaded intoa file. Actual layout of the documentation will vary slightly dependingon width and level of calls.
The information shown is based solely on the output from the IBM-commandDSPPGMREF with the librarylist that is current at execution time. This basis made it easy to include some additional information retrieved from program references: Files referenced (even a merged view of references from all programs called by the actual program) and a check on matching record format ID's.

You find a sample output from the command below.You can get a free copy of the program, if you fill the the form.

Highligts

Lists recursively all program calls.
Shown with indentions.
Outputs to display, printer or outfile.
Option to display source member.
Option to see all program references including a check for correct record format level ID
Function to se a merged program reference for all programs involved.

License
Provided that you have got the program directly from me the author you can install and use it on one single iSeries 400 (AS/400) to document programs in any commercial or non-commercial project YOU are working on. You can allow anyone else working on the same project on the same iSeries 400 (AS/400) to use it. You can distribute this text only (the description and my address) to anybody you want if it is not changed. Actually you are invited to do so. No other distribution is allowed. You must remove the utility from machines you will no longer have access to. You are not allowed to sell (alone or as part of a project) any output from this utility.
You are expected within a month after download to send a message with your opinion to the author.
