I think I know what you want. There is an sql service to look at the
journal and it's pretty good. However, where it falls short is breaking
down the old and the new image into their respective columns. It's almost
as if you have to code an RPG program to bounce that old and new images
against an externally defined data structure based on the underlying
table.

I tried to figure out a UDTF (perhaps written in RPG) to do this but I
have other priorities. Besides it would have to be table specific.

If you want to whip up an RFE on this I would be interested. I thought I
did but I just checked and I don't see it. Perhaps I was limiting my
imagination as to how I would use RPG to do this.

IDK if DBU does this.

An alternative is to consider temporal tables.

You could imbed the SQL service into an RPG program and use your DS's that
way.
