Hi,
I have to do an impact analysis on Assembler-IMS DC programs. The goal is to list out all the programs which are doing Insert/Update in the IMS database.There are approximately 80 programs including the Main and Subprograms. Since I don't have much exposure to Assembler it would have been of great help if somebody can provide some input to this,
like whether we can do a search for specific "strings" in these programs etc...

Thanks

The IMS calls should be ISRT for insert and REPL for replace (update). You may want to search on ASMTDLI or CBLTDLI (both work).

Analysis of the PSB may help. If the PROCOPT is G, then it can't make changes to the database. Values of A, I, R and L indicate that it might.

Include checks for deletes as well if that is needed.
