Answer Wiki:
If the program was compiled with DBGVIEW(*LIST), you can STRCPYSCN to an *outfile. Then you can scroll through the listing without needing to copy/paste. Some editing of the resulting *outfile leaves just the "source". * Try to find the library on a backup tape. * Check every PF-SRC files on the system to find that member name.

I already searched all source files in all libraries but let me check again.

Will try 1st option also but I do not think it was compiled with *list but let me check.

backup tape, object was last changed in 1987..lol

Note that a program compiled at V1R7 would almost have to refer to Release 7 of CPF. I don’t have the S/38 command available to see what the debug options were, but I’d expect something more like OPTION(*SRCDBG).

In any case, seeing what appears on screen after STRDBG OPMSRC(*YES) against the program will probably give the best chance if anything will work at all.

Used STRCPYSCN but its only copying screen data ( display file ).

Tried already strdbg , can not see source. Still searching all pf-src..lets see.

If you run DSPPGM against the program, it will tell you where the source was when the program was compiled. If that source file, member or library doesn’t exist on your system, then searching for all source members and looking at them is the only choice that you have.

You might run DMPOBJ for the compiled *PGM and scroll through the spooled file. Sometimes you can find variable names or constants that you can use in FNDSTRPDM or similar commands. That can possibly help narrow the search.
