Re: Issues adding tables to journaling though System i Navigator

There were many more apparently problematic messages issued before the SQL0901 was listed. Most notably a MCH1210 was the first message preceding many instances of "File not found" where the replacement text values are very suspect. FWiW a copy\paste from an interactive request to DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*) lacks significant relevant /context/ for the situation [including the V#R#M# which appears in the headings]. A DSPJOBLOG OUTPUT(*PRINT) for a job defined with LOG(4 0 *SECLVL) provides the context that is missing from the non-spooled version.

FWiW the SQL0901 to SQL is the effective equivalent of CPF9999 to the OS; i.e. they are both a /generic/ "function check" condition to explain a prior unmonitored\unhandled error condition. It is always the prior condition(s) that lead to the generic failure that are relevant; although whether the relevant details are available in prior messaging, is not assured.

In this case however, at least the CPF4204 is shown in the joblog... but its details and context are missing. As well as all of the other messages preceding that /generic/ query failure... which, like the other aforementioned /generic/ failures, *preceding* conditions and thus possibly preceding *messages* are also likely relevant details to further describe the problem. But again, the /context/ for the errors is important, and only the *spooled* joblog [with LOG(4 0 *SECLVL) provides that information, both concisely and in its entirety.
