1

can any one tell me,

how to find unused object(subprogramme,subroutine,map,etc.) and unused variable in any programme also.??

is there any utility? will this be natural engineering?

and plz provide me the concept of natural engineering under CICS.

if possible then provide me the exact natural code.

you can do this using Predict (which is a natural add-on).

The regarding dialog looks like this:

Hi Matthias,

When I opened the Predict Menu I am getting the below. I didn’t find the menu ‘Verify References’. If you could post the detailed path on how to traverse to that menu it will be helpful.

Actually, you access this Predict function fron Natural:

  1. List Xref
  2. A (Verify Application)
  3. R (Objects implemented but not referenced)

Hi andy15 Sivva!

What you did looks like

Logon SYSDIC
Menu

To get the Xref-Menu you have to go another way - like Peter Holmick said:

logon *YOURLIB*
l x

You also can find unused variables using the NatStyle utility in NaturalONE
