Commit or Journal?

[Tim Truax <truax@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
Here is the situation I am faced with (I know all ways to do all things
on the S36....probably) I want to know what feature of the AS400 will
allow me to rectify this:

2 users access the same account number at the exact same time in the
same file and same interactive job and are presented with a full screen
where 20 comment lines can be typed in.
User 1 - gets this screen with available sequence numbers 1 thru 20.
User 2 - gets this screen with same available sequence numbers!!!
User 1 & User 2 - commence to typing in the comments 1 thru 20.
User 1 hits enter first and adds the records 1 thru 20, Now
User 2 hits enter and they update and write over User 1's previously
entered comments.

This is very rare, but happens too regularly and I know how I can handle
it using my S36 ability.
I want to know if there is a good AS400 way to handle this.  Maybe 
with COMMITMENT or JOURNALLING ?
