How to extract Stored Procedure body in Teradata

Question

I'm trying to extract Stored procedure DDL by querying system tables.
If I run the following query

select * from dbc.tvm where TableKind = 'P'

both fields RequestText and CreateText contain NULL. Is there any way to query Stored Procedure body apart from using SHOW PROCEDURE?

Thank you.

The DDL (SPL) for the Stored Procedures is not stored in the data dictionary tables. If you do not retain your DDL in a repository for version control you will need to script the SHOW PROCEDURE commands in a BTEQ script and export them to flat files. This BTEQ script can be generated dynamically if you are creative with your queries against the data dictionary.
