I would recommend that you Send a User Defined Journal Entry to the Journal and use that as your Ending Point. To find the Sequence number of this Entry, Capture date and time before and after you send the entry. Then, search the Current Receiver Chain using DSPJRN with the begginning and ending dates and times limiting to your User Defined Journal Type. Send this to an OutFile, read the Outfile and capture the Receiver, Library and Sequence. Store this in your Data Area to use in the next cycle as your Starting Point.

The first time you run this you will have to pre-load the Data Area with a Valid Starting Receiver, Library and Sequence. Be careful selecting the User Defined Journal Type. You may have other applications that are Sending User Defined Journal Entries and you don't want any Contention. So dump all User Defined Journal Entries (Journal Code Z I think) in the Current Chain to an Outfile and see what if any Journal Types are already being used.

We do exactly what you're attempting to do on a nightly basis and this works for us.
