How is it possible to tell if a synonym obtained from TABLEF FILE _EDAHOME/CATALOG/SYSAPPS or APP QUERY, etc. is for a stored procedure, or not?

Thanks!

I don't see the answer in SYSTABLE, or SYSFILES ... maybe once the synonym is made, it cannot be ascertained any longer whether it points to a stored procedure, or not?

What about SYSCOLUM ?

If the Master has the segments INPUT OUTPUT and ANSWERSETn perhaps.

When I use

TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
PRINT *
END
-RUN
-EXIT


I don't see anything in the output that looks relevant to individual synonyms, like I expect

FYI,

As this SYSCOLUM master is multisegment, a straight PRINT * will probably return 0 records.

Or you will get too much information. It is the SEGNAME that is the key.

try
TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
PRINT TBNAME SEGNAME
END


When I use this I see the segnames mentioned above.

Ah, I see. It looks like I can get a report of all stored procedure based synonynms with this:

TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
PRINT TBNAME
WHERE SEGNAME='ANSWERSET1'
END

I wonder if that could give me any false positives? I don't see any in there, now.

As the SEGNAME for tables could be anything, it is possible.

Do you also get INPUT and OUTPUT ?

You could check for a combination of SEGNAMES
