My new project is to identify any and all Assembler programs in the shop with the intent of conversion to Cobol.

The challenge is to streamline the discovery process. I can do a 3.14 in ISPF to find for example ' EQU ' but what if a given program doesn't have any equates ?

I see that CEMT I PROG will identify the type of prog and provide a use count. Problem is that this is one screen at a time.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this ?

Load Module Scanner :DFHEISUP

Use the CICS load module scanner to find the ASM programs.
It will scan through the Loadlibraries and list details about the modules includeing the source language.

You can read all about DFHEISUP in the Operations and Utilities Guide (Chapter 14). Here is the link to the PDF version.(LINK)
