Re: List remote journals and the status

:-) He used, RPGLE, a panel, some CL and a command.

Others pointed out where to find the code : on the Think400.dk web site among others and I have it now.

Thanks to all!

I do think I'll try and get this working in CL, but since Carsten filled the real need at V5R4, I'll do it at V7 and use some of the newer enhancements in CL given to us by Guy Vig and the folks in Rochester.......

I bet he didn't use CL!

I haven't done any DSPF processing in CL in a really long time, so I
didn't include that in the sample code I sent for calling the API. Of
course, if you get Carsten's code, it's probably all over but for the
fat lady singing.
