Re: Journal Display

Here's a technique I devised for converting unformatted data held in a
journal to the original format.

Let's imagine you have extracted journal images for a database file called
MYFILE and put the journal output in an outfile called DSPJRNOUTF.
DSPJRNOUTF will contain a field called JOESD which holds the after (and
maybe before) images of records from MYFILE as unformatted data. You can
convert these to records in a copy of MYFILE like this.

1. Create a temporary file called JOESD, e.g.

CRTPF QTEMP/JOESD RCDLEN(length)

where length is the length of field JOESD in DSPJRNOUTF.

This will create a file with a single field called JOESD (i.e. matching the
journal data field in DSPJRNOUTF).

2. Copy the journal images into the temporary file, e.g.

CPYF DSPJRNOUTF QTEMP/JOESD MBROPT(*REPLACE) FMTOPT(*MAP *DROP).

This will just extract the contents of the JOESD field into the temporary
file.

3. Create a temporary copy of your live MYFILE file, e.g.

CRTDUPOBJ MYFILE FROMLIB(MYLIB) OBJTYPE(*FILE) TOLIB(QTEMP)
TOOBJ(MYFILETEMP) DATA(*NO)

4. Copy the contents of temporary file JOESD to the TEMPORARY COPY of
MYFILE, e.g.

CPYF QTEMP/JOESD QTEMP/MYFILETEMP MBROPT(*REPLACE) FMTOPT(*NOCHK)
ERRLVL(*NOMAX)

You now have your journal images in QTEMP/MYFILETEMP in their original
format.

The ERRLVL(*NOMAX) bit is there in case MYFILETEMP is keyed with unique
keys - this will drop any duplicates.
