RE: Journal APIs

Tony,
In the RPGLAB, there is this prototype:
     D QjoRtvJournalEntries...
     D                 PR
ExtProc('QjoRetrieveJournalEntries')
     D szRtnBuffer                65535A   OPTIONS(*VARSIZE)

     D nBufLen                       10I 0 Const

     D JrnName                       20A   Const

     D szAPIFmt                       8A   Const

     D szJrnEntQry                32766A   Const OPTIONS(*OMIT)
     D api_Error                           Like(xt_QUSEC) OPTIONS(*OMIT)


The szRtnBuffer and szJrnEntQry are the ones where you pass a data structure
needed for your specific return results.

Subject: Journal APIs

I am working on writing a program to retrieve journal entries, and store
them in a 'change history' file, for inquiry. I started reading about the
QjoRetrieveJournalEntries() API, and I am wondering if anybody has created a
prototype. I looked at the one in QSYSINC, and it seems to be a bunch of
DS's, and a CONST specifying the name QjoRetrieveJournalEntries.

Also, if you have an example you have created, I would be mucho grateful.

I know how to use the DSPJRN CL command, but I thought I might make it
neater than outputting to a file in QTEMP, reading through the file, repeat
for each library, etc.
