If you know what package.procedure(s) you are interested in, you can just
search for references to 'package.procedure' in xxx_SOURCE view. 

select name, type, line, text
from    user_source
where lower(text) like '%package.procedure%'
and type = 'TRIGGER'

You can further limit by using a subquery finding all dependencies on the
package from triggers.

It is valid to leave spaces between package, period, and procedure name; if
that is likely, you might want to use a regex match rather than plain old
LIKE.

It is very rare (not completely unknown) for the  package.procedure to be
split across a line break (I'd regard that as a coding standards failure) eg

  IF X > Y THEN
    Package ,
       Procedure (a,b,c);
  END IF:

Finally; this mechanism picks up comments (and commented out calls). You can
fairly easily exclude single line comments (--). It's more of a pain to
exclude multiline comments (/* ... */). You can decide whether this is a big
issue or not...

Hi Folks,
Here is the scenario; If a PL/SQL package contains multiple procedures
and functions and there are triggers referencing a certain procedure in
that package then is there a way to list all those triggers? The
DBA_DEPENDENCIES view does not drill down to the sub-programs within a
package.

Thanks
Amir
