RE: Finding which program changed a DLO

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

Albert,

Interesting problem.  Many of the characteristics which define your DLO
objects are contained in database files in QUSRSYS (warning, this is the
way it used to be many years ago, the location of the files may have
changed).

You could try locating and journaling these files (somehow QDIAxxxxxx
comes to mind) to get some additional information.  I don't know of a
way to journal changes to DLO's directly.

Is it possible that you have a PC on your network with a drive mapped to
a folder?  If this PC had some scheduled task running against the
documents, you might get such unpredictable results.

Who knows what would happen if a Windows PC tried to defragment a
virtual drive on an AS/400 folder?  <grin>
