Sometimes, I need to quickly browse a source member for a program, but I'm unable to recall the source file name that contains the source member. I solved this problem by creating the Display Source Member (DSPSRCMBR) command. DSPSRCMBR uses the Display Object Description (DSPOBJD) command to retrieve the source member's location from information found in the program object. The program then uses the browse mode in SEU to display the source member. The source code for DSPSRCMBR is shown in 5. The source code for the CPP, SRC013CL, is shown in 6.
