Walden,
As I understand, you run jobs partly under commitment control. This
implies your files are journalled.
You can find all the changes in the journal receiver. Display the
changes performed by the jobs you want to audit.
Every change done under commitment control has a "commit cycle number"
and changes done without commitment control miss this number.
To look to the changes done by a specific job you use DSPJRN and specify
the job ID in selection criteria of this command.
You can also download theese changes to a file "output(*file)" in
DSPJRN, and then analyze theese changes using a program or Query/400.
