Yes, there is a way: use the LDM 'pqcat' facility as follows:

<as 'ldm'>
pqcat -vl- -O -f ANY > /dev/null

Comments:

- the '-O' (capital O) flag says to show product origin (which is exactly
  what you want)

- the '-vl-' flag says to write the logging output to STDOUT

- the > /dev/null is there to write the products matched to the bitbucket
  (otherwise they would be written to STDOUT)

- you could add a '-p pattern' flag to limit the set of products if
  you want to see information for all products

- more information on 'pqcat' is available via 'man pqcat'

Cheers,

Tom
