Re: journal entries

As far as I am aware, you can only show the journal data in Char or Hex format.

The easiest way to find what has changed is to use CMPJRNIMG for the file and this will generate a listing which will highlight any changes, along with the details of which job/user has changed them. This can display output in Hex or Char as well.

You will need to compare the postion of the data changed with the file layout of your file

Re: journal entries

First if you have DBU tool you can use DBUJRN

steps to read journal

Use DspJrn to display the record entries you want from the 
journal to an outfile 

Build a DDS source member based on the DspJrn outfile 

Build a DDS source member based on your original file 

Paste the second DDS member on top of the first, but 
replace field JOESD from the DspJrn outfile with the columns 
from your original file 

Create a new file using this DDS 

Use the Copy File (CPYF) command with the Format 
Option *NOCHK to copy from the DspJrn outfile to 
the new file

for all journal entry types and codes
