RE: make cust file look like a journal record - format

I am trying to do this. Where can I get a file format of the DSPJRN *OUTFILE format?

I tried QSYS/QADSPJRN but that has a field JOESD of only 100 bytes long.

Is there a file to join to with a longer JOESD field?

Or do I have to create my own.

Thanks

Do you know how to have SQL move the entire record format (all columns: packed, zoned, alpha) into a single field JOESD? (which is where the journal system stores my CUST record)

How about creating a file with just one field that is as long as the
longest record format that you want to process, then use CPYF with
FMTOPT(*NOCHK) to load it. Then I think you could use SQL against
that file to load your DSPJRN look-alike. No actual journal
processing required.
