I have to disagree that the information is so hard to get at - there are utilities from several places to get journal entries into usable form. http://systeminetwork.com/node/61261 has an example that might work for this. A google on "journal utility iseries" brought up several hits, including products like JMT/400 (I know nothing about this one). I imagine TAA Tools has something, too.

So there are lots of things out there, in addition to the DSPJRN command to an *OUTFILE that could be the beginning of things. You can filter on the kind of journal entry in that command, as I recall.

Hi,

the Journal Receiver will contain this information, but its not to easy to
get it. starting journaling does not touch your applications and would be a
good idea anyway.

what about adding the timestamp (or something like this), filling it by
trigger and letting your application work with LFs ommiting this field with
identical name s to now?

Subject: 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?
