It appears that IBM changes the output format of the DSPJRN command with
every new release. We have a daily startup routine that displays the
journal to a work file, calls a program that reads the work file and writes
records to a permanent history file that the user can then interogate.
Everything works great until the user upgrades their operating system. Then
we have to delete the daily work file, recreate it, and re-compile the
program that reads it. This isn't hard to do, its just a pain in the neck,
especially since we have hundreds of customers on different releases.

I can't help thinking that I'm missing something. There must be an easier
way. I can't find anything in the DSPJRN command to control this and it
will blow up if there is a file out there that doesnt match the format it
wants to output. If I delete the file each time, the DSPJRN command would
not blow up but the format of the file would change and the follow on RPG
program would blow up.

Is anybody else handling this better?
