Thank you, again, Carsten!

Even though it doesn't directly solve the immediate problem, I have
learned more about this useful, but somewhat complicated command.

Before you even mentioned it, I thought of looking at the
QjoRetrieveJournalEntries API for the same reason, that the RPG program
controls the retrieving of the journal entries.  But I felt that I might
be reinventing a major wheel, considering that the existing application
"works" oh-so-close-just-give-me-the-da*n-records-in-the-buffer.  I'm
still of the mindset to try the OPNDBF & CLOF surrounding the RTVJRNE in
the CL that I mentioned in my last post.

But in case that doesn't pan out, I'd like to take you up on your generous
offer of the sample code.

TIA, GA
