Regarding John's email below, JCLScan (actually, Job/Scan) is a JCL scanner that makes it possible to check for the most basic JCL errors. Info/X is a tool ASG acquired, as is Job/Scan, from another vendor (and from what I understand, is no longer supported by the original developer).
It would be important to ensure that the capability to go anywhere from program source objects COMPLETELY through to batch scheduler nets is a feature you will eventually need. And, with that capability, you can then search from anywhere for anything that is used within your I.T. environment.

Thanks Linda. Unfortunately that would involve loading all of our source and JCL, etc. libraries over to Panvalet libraries. Currently we're just looking for something to read what we have and inventory it separately, without any conversions. Unless the Panvalet product has been enhanced beyond what I once knew about it (which is entirely possible), it does not (or did not) provide interactive queries of the "what is included in what" type, only static batch reports. Thanks again for the suggestion though.
