Hello Gord,

The Backup and Recovery Guide answers your question.  

quote"
   If you choose to journal an access path, remember the following:

      You can journal an access path for a physical file only if the
       physical file has a keyed access path or an index created by a
       referential constraint.
"endquote

I'd say IBM thought it was redundant too!

Regards,
Simon Coulter.
