This document covers the following topics:
Information on individual Natural members is either retrieved top-down or bottom-up. See also diagrams below. In both cases the retrieval starts with an individual member (program, data area, etc.):
Top-down Retrieval
The functions look for objects that are used by a given
member.
For example: The function Program using programs. A program is specified and all programs that are used by this program are shown.
Bottom-up Retrieval
The functions look for objects that use a given member. The
notation referenced in is always used in retrieval functions of this type. For
example: The function Program referenced in programs. A program is specified
and all programs that use this program are listed.
Note:
In the screens Data Areas and Variables and Copy Code only
starting objects in the current library are taken into account.
Top-down retrieval provides answers to question such as these:
Bottom-up retrieval provides answers to question such as these:
Indirect references can be evaluated, for example, "Which programs refer to programs which refer to the program ABC?" Recursion can be extended up to seven levels to show the invocation structure of an application.
When Natural finds in a program a reference to another program, it stores not only the type and name of the program that is used but also how that program is invoked. The following invocation methods are reported by LIST XREF functions:
CALL statements to 3GL programs;
CALLNAT statements;
FETCH statements;
FETCH RETURN statements;
Assignment of a program to a function key (using a SET KEY PFn= statement);
INPUT USING MAP statements;
CALLDBPROC statements to SQL stored procedures;
Function call to Natural Functions;
REINPUT USING HELP statements or an assignment via session parameter HE in an INPUT statement or within a map;
PERFORM statements;
RUN statements;
STACK statements;
CREATE OBJECT statements;
SEND METHOD statements;
Open dialog;
SEND EVENT statements;
Using property;
Method implementation;
Calling an entry in a DBRM (database request module) - only for Natural programs that use static SQL;
Assignment of a program as an error transaction, a startup transaction or a restart transaction:
either by assignment in a Natural program (using a *ERROR-TA= or *STARTUP= statement)
or by definition in Natural Security for a Natural library or a special link to this library, provided that XREF for the application is set to either Y or F in Natural Security and that a user system file has been assigned to the library. These transactions are considered to be invoked by a dummy member *NSC (a program of type P) in the library.
INVESTIGATE statements (invocation of a Natural Expert model).

| C | Count references to program | How many times is the program ABC referred to by programs | The total number of references is listed for each invocation method. |
| U | Program using programs | Which programs does the program ABC refer to | The invocation method is indicated. See also Effects of Steplib Support. |
| R | Program referenced in programs | Which programs refer to the program ABC | The invocation method is indicated. See also Effects of Steplib Support. |
| E | Program using programs recursively | Which programs are referred to by the program ABC, or which programs are referred to by programs which are referred to by the program ABC, .... | The output is structured to show the direct references to programs on the next level. See also Termination of Listing. |
| I | Program referenced in programs recursively | Which programs refer to the program ABC, or which programs refer to programs which refer to the program ABC, .... | The output is structured to show the direct references to programs on the next level. See also Termination of Listing. |
| X | XREF program using programs | Which programs are referred to by the program ABC, or which programs are referred to by programs which are referred to by the program ABC, .... | The total number of programs at each level is reported as well as the type and ID of each program. This function summarizes the output of the function with code E but omitsthe structural information. |
| Y | XREF program referenced in programs | Which programs refer to the program ABC, or which programs refer to programs which refer to the program ABC, .... | The total number of programs at each level is reported as well as the type and ID of each program. This function summarizes the output of the function with code I but omits the structural information. |
In certain circumstances, the listing of a LIST XREF function is terminated and marked as follows:
Recursion is marked with rec and the output is terminated.
The output can be truncated from a level (up to 7) specified by the user. Truncated output is marked with trunc.
The user can specify other parameters that limit the scope of the output, for example programs of a certain type or those with IDs that start with a particular character string. Output terminated in such a manner or due to a reference to a 3GL program is marked with stop.
If a program that has already been displayed in the invocation hierarchy reappears at a lower recursion level, the hierarchy is not displayed again. Instead the program is marked with suppr. (for suppressed).
If the called program is contained in another library, the output is stopped and the program is marked with steplib.
| Save set |
Any user defined in Predict can save the types and names of programs listed by functions U, R, X or Y in a set. See Using Sets. Note: |

Note:
All functions use objects contained in the current library as
starting objects. In the reports, on the left side only objects in the current
library are listed, regardless of whether or not a library structure was
specified.
| Code | Function | Answer to the question... |
|---|---|---|
| C | Count references to variable | How many times is the variable ABC (contained in the current library) referred to by programs (contained in any library) |
| U | Program using variables | Which variables (contained in any library) does the program ABC (contained in the current library) refer to |
| R | Variable referenced in programs | Which programs (contained in any library) refer to the variable ABC (contained in the current library) |
| D | Program using data areas | Which data areas (contained in any library) does the program ABC (contained in the current library) refer to |
| E | Data area referenced in programs | Which programs (contained in any library) refer to the data area ABC (contained in the current library) |
Steplib support affects the above Data Area and Variable functions as follows.
For programs cataloged using Natural 4.1.1 or above on a Windows or UNIX platform or Natural 3.1.2 or above on the mainframe, additional XRef information about each referenced data area is stored: the library name, database number and file number. This information is used to determine the referenced data areas/variables. In addition, the specified library structure is used to determine the data areas/variables that will be used when objects will be cataloged a new.
For programs cataloged using an older version of Natural the additional XRef information is not available, therefore the specified library structure is used to determine the referenced data areas/variables.

Steplib support affects the above Copy Code functions as follows.
For programs cataloged using Natural 4.1.1 or above on a Windows or UNIX platform or Natural 4.1.1 or above on the mainframe, additional XRef information about each referenced copy code is stored: the library name, database number and file number. This information is used to determine the referenced copy codes. In addition, the specified library structure is used to determine the copy codes that will be used when objects will be cataloged a new.
For programs cataloged using an older version of Natural the additional XRef information is not available, therefore the specified library structure is used to determine the referenced copy codes.

Up to seven types of information can be retrieved:
| Information Reported by Report Program with XRef Data | |
|---|---|
| Statistical data | The program ID, the program type, the date and time when it was cataloged, the ID of the user who cataloged it, the ID of the terminal where it was cataloged and the information that would be displayed for this program by the Natural command LIST DIR object-ID. |
| Predict description | The extended description and abstract that are stored in the Predict object for that program. If Format extended description is set to Y, Con-form, Software AG's text formatting facility, is used whenever a description is output. See Extended Description Skeleton in the section Defaults in the Predict Administration documentation. |
| Natural program list | A Source code listing of the Natural program itself. If Expand copycodes / rules is set to Y, all copy code used by an INCLUDE statement is expanded in the listing of the program and all processing rules (free and automatic) used in a map are expanded in the listing of the map. |
| Using/referenced programs | For each program that either invokes that program or
is invoked by that program, the program type, the program ID, the method of
invoking and - for maps - the processing rules used are included in the report.
Note: |
| Views, Da-views and fields | Each view, data area view and field of a view used by that program is included in the report. |
| Da-areas and variables | Each data area and each variable used by that program is included in the report. |
