Re: System Journals

Before images are how the record appeared BEFORE the change. You need
*BOTH if you want to be able to rollback changes using the journal. I
have a client with a package that does not provide an audit train of
changes to a patictular file. They wanted one but only if important
fields had been changed. By using *BOTH and analysing the outfile I
could compare on a field bases and generate their audit trail without
modifing the package.
