File transaction date

Hi,

I'm currently adding a date field to an old PF which will hold the date that a transaction gets modified. The file has 3 or 4 mentions in different RPG modules that get bound by copy to almost everything. This results in having to recompile pratically the whole system. The job that migrates the file takes about 2.5 hours to run and I need to plan it in advance so noone is using the file when ir runs. In other words, it's a headache.

I don't know much about journals/receivers as they aren't used here. But aren't they designed for this kind of information? I'm also thinking of the rollback feature that they permit. I've never used that either. What kind of preparations do we need to think about to be able to switch to this kind of file management?
