A CHGJRN JRN(OLS_JRN/JRNOLS) JRNRCV(*GEN) is done nightly...

The entry in JROLSR1629 is dated 11/22/08 at 12:25:00...

I was able to delete it....

But I'm curious as to what was going on.

FWiW, beyond collecting just DSPxxx details for an XXX object-type, collecting additionally the DSPOBJD for both *FULL and *SERVICE details before issuing the DLTxxx of an object as recovery from some apparent "oddity" is prudent. The above given details would best have included also at a minimum, the JRNRCV "status"; we can infer from the "subject:" that both are detached, but what did the system think.? If the detach is performed "nightly" and [since] the 03-Dec attached receiver was effected the same evening the concern was expressed, then the latest receiver seems likely to have been attached and correctly expressed as having a detach date\time as "00/00/00" which [absurdly; why the value is not *NONE is beyond me] indicates "not yet detached".?

The other journal receiver detach apparently was done midday, thus apparently not in the "nightly" processing, which makes its situation at least possibly somewhat unique. Beyond DSPOBJD, the history log QHST contains information about journal\receiver activity. The history could be reviewed for normal and abnormal journal and receiver messaging during the period between initial attach date\time of 11/21/08 17:02:54 and apparent detach date\time near 11/22/08 12:30, possibly up until the expected detach date\time near 11/22/08 17:15.

I am not sure what the effect of RSTOBJ JROLSR1629 would have shown, but perhaps that could be tested for similar effect to what was seen. If for instance the "detach date\time" is reset to zeroes for a restored journal receiver, that would show the importance of reviewing the "restore date\time" of the display object description details for possible origin of the seeming "oddity" of zero date.
