RE: RJNE0100 format

["Carel Teijgeler" <coteijgeler@xxxxxxxxx>]

Michael,

About November 2003 the iSeriesNetwork Programmers newsletter, edited by Scott, 
gave a sample programme to use journalling API, written by Carsten Flensberg.

I used that code to "write" my own exit programme (read: adapting the code) and 
it works well.

I do not have the exact where abouts of that newsletter. But it is perhaps 
worth a while.

Journalling and the exits programmes are explained in the Backup and Recovery 
Guide, chapter 19 and 20.

Carel Teijgeler
