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

I think you want QADSPJR5. It's a variable length field - initial
allocation of 100 bytes.

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

Hi Joel -

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.
