Re: V4R4 Gotcha new Journal

QSQJRN is the standard, IBM supplied journal name for any SQL - Created
collection.

The question I would have, is what is the program doing that requires the
journal name and library? Under normal circumstances, the relationship
between the file and the journal is managed by those two objects, not by
programming.
