Dear Bill, <vendor>
Our Stitch-in-Time product is custom designed to address your question:
http://www.unbeatenpath.com/software/sit/Stitch-in-Time.pdf
It provides air-tight observation of iSeries data integrity. The product works
great with BPCS and ERP LX and with any other iSeries-based
databases. There is a free demo.
We have used the product many times for cutting a de-bug job down to size.
In the test environment we instruct Stitch-in-Time to observe all the files
pertinent to the business process and then run some trial transactions designed
to replicate the error. When we look at the pre-post record content data
recovered by Stitch-in-Time, the location/source of the problem sticks out like
a smoking gun.
The fourth paragraph of this recommendation letter from Saint-Gobain
Ceramics testifies to a happy real-life de-bugging result:

Subject: How to get Before and After Record Journal Images
I'm trying to track down a problem with mysterious data changes to a
file (CIC for you BPCS fans). We're on OS/400 V5R2. I used iSeries
Navigator to Journal the file and am receiving journals. But, they're
only after images and I'd like both before and after images.
Can this be done via ON, or does *BOTH require a command line?
Is there a way to either modify the journal or end and start again
without having exclusive lock on the file?
