Matt, if a file was journaled and then is no longer journaled, the last journal still shows on the object forever. What I do is ignore the journal information when journaled says NO. My guess is you need to do the same. Unless of course you can see that it is journaled and there is a discrepancy between dspobjd and object_statistics.
We first saw this as an issue with files we move over to our test environment and had tons of errors because our vendor software was seeing the old journal name and then trying to start journaling on the file when we don't have those same journals running over in test.
IBM told us it was as designed but the problem is then how does one know that we should or should not journal? The answer, keep a table of what was journaled before you turn it off and only turn it back on for those objects when you want it back on. Not the best answer in my book.

Subject: Alternative to QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS to find file journal info
Importance: Low
We have been using the following query to find which files are attached to which journal in our system and recently discovered that it can return incorrect results (showing files attached to journals that no longer exist for instance):
SELECT * FROM TABLE (QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS('libraryname','FILE') ) AS X
Is there another, more reliable way to find all files that are attached to specific journals that can be easily queried ?
Anyone know why QSYS2.OBJECT_STATISTICS might return incorrect information? Perhaps we need to run some routine to "refresh object statistics" or something?
Matt
