If you are a member of systemI Network, there's the FMTJRNE command:

Doug,

You didn't miss anything.  That's the way DSPJRN works.

You need a utility to DSPJRN to a properly formatted outfile then query
the file.

You could roll your own, or download/buy one.

We use Prodata's DBU utility here.  It includes a DBUJRN command that
does what is outlined above.

HTH,

Charles Wilt
