Embedded SQL in RPG and Journaling Question

I have a monthly maintenance job that goes out to a file that our UPS
machines populate at the end of day with all the shipments via an ODBC
connection and purges records over 6 months old. The file is Journaled and
the program runs once a month. For about 2 years the program ran fine. In
December we upgraded our ERP package and as standard practice we recompiled
all our source members in out modification library to take into account any
file changes. During the ERP upgrade we added 3 more fields to this file.
The program is an ILE RPG program with embedded SQL. It is rather simple by
comparing the transaction date to a date that is 180 days old and deletes
records older than that date.



Now when the program runs it will purge the records and then immediately
after the program ends Journaling reverses the changes. I did a WRKACTJOB
and can see the program run, then with Display File Description I can see
the number of records deleted increasing. When the RPG program ends it
immediately does a Journal Rollback. In WRKACTJOB it says *ROLLBACK. After
the job successfully ends there are Zero deleted records and the original
record count is the same.



What is causing this happen?
