You may need to hit F13 (shift + F1) after entering 25 on the option field and before hitting enter.

http://systeminetwork.com/article/files-and-fields-%E2%80%93-where-are-they-used is where you can go to get a complete package to enable you to have this info at your fingertips at all times. Works great and is a stand alone package.

Fir a quickie just go to the library source you are looking at and do an option 25 then F11. Press enter and type the string you are looking for.

In general, if you build a list of programs, you can run DSPPGMREF against each program on the list to output file references into a file of references. You can then select those that name your file as was noted above.

However, you might also want to review any logical files that are built over the file you’re changing. Depending on how those LFs are defined and on how you add the field to the physical file, you might also need to recompile the LFs and recompile programs that use those LFs. Maybe.

You can probably ignore SQL references… unless you had some very inexperienced SQL developers. The SQL shouldn’t be affected.

How much detail do you need?
