RE: Monitoring for Database Updates.

If the file is already journaled, then the entries are in the journal, ready to 
be retrieved.  Journal the files that aren't, and be prepared to find entries 
for those that are in the proper journal.  

Journaling is efficient, mature and well supported by the AS/400.  

Journals and triggers are _the_ ways of intercepting database activity on an 
AS/400.

How many files do you have that are both journaled and have triggers?  Another 
suggestion is to use whichever one is available.  Write your programs in a 
manner that can allow you to work with either medium.

Regards,
Rich

The same, the file may already be journalled, and I don't want to
interfere with the journalling process
