IBM's latest response:
The system has internal sync points that it keeps track of which entries
we have sent across.  You are unable to view these sync points.  The
only way you are able to see if the RMTJRN is current is looking at the 
sequence numbers.   A request for design change could be filled out to
ask 
for this enhancement to the API to provide that information.

IBM's response:
The only way to confirm if all entries have been sent to the target is
to compare the last sequence number of the source to the last sequence
number of the remote JRN.  You can use the same API but would need to
run it over the source and then on the target and compare the sequence
numbers.  If they are the same, then you can delete the JRNRCV.

My response back:
I have a question - If I drop the comm from the local to the remote and 
then run DLTJRNRCV would it fail because of a comm failure, or, would it

fail because it detected, via some other method, that there were entries

to be sent?  If it wouldn't fail because of a comm failure, then how
does 
it determine that there are entries to be sent?
