RE: Was RE: Journaling - Now how to find who read

Method for ensuring consistent Customer Service.  Any time a customer
service rep speaks to a customer or a sales rep they are Supposed to put an
entry into our Notepad application.  We want to do some checking to make
sure that is happening, i.e. they looked at, did something (if they update
yes the file is journal led, no commit control).

have considered the option of opening for update but that would mean
changing some underlying logic and lots of programs......

Please explain why do you need to know what was read in the first instance ?

What's the business practice ?

Are your files already journalled ?  If so do your applications use
commitment control ?

Have you considered reading the file in update mode and doing a (dummy)
update immediately afterwards to create a journal entry, or trigger a
trigger program ?

Regards

Oliver

Mark

If you journal with OMTJRNE(*NONE) , then your joiurnal will record will
record
any opens and closes of journalled files.  However, it does not tell you
which
records in a file were read only those which were changed.
