Answer Wiki:
The DSPPGM command can print a list of modules for a program. If you want an automated solution, the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/apis/qbnlpgmi.htm">List ILE Program Information (QBNLPGMI) API</a> will return a list of modules when you request format PGML0100. If your module is in a service program, then DSPPGMREF can list service programs that are referenced by a program. The list can be to an outfile. If a module is going to be in more than one program, then it probably should be in a service program. Tom

Here i dont know the Program Names.

Use the List Objects (QUSLOBJ) API to build a list of all programs into a user space or use the DSPOBJD command to list program names into a database file. Then pass each program name from the user space or from the file to the QBNLPGMI API to get a list of each programs’ modules.

Every time you find a program that has the module name that you’re looking for in its list, write the program name to some permanent record — into a database file, into a message queue, into a user index entry; wherever you can retrieve the list of names that you built.

Whoever wrote the programs was responsible for keeping track of modules. Change Management products are sold that will keep track automatically, or you can create your own tools.

As mentioned earlier, if a module is going to be used in more than one program, then it should be in a service program (unless justification exists for binding by copy). It’s much easier to find where service programs are used.
