Re: List remote journals and the status

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary,

Good thought but I don't need to ask the remote systems to send me 
anything, the local (main) system has all the information needed.  The 
API Retrieve Journal Information will retrieve everything.  Getting a 
list of the journal receivers is as easy as you suggest.

Since my target audience for this function are administrators, most of 
whom have little or no experience in RPG of any flavor I was hoping to 
do the entire process in CL.  (This is also partly due to my own 
extraordinarily rusty RPG skills) At this moment it looks doable.  And 
before the chorus starts, yes, it would much faster and better to manage 
in RPG with subfiles and all, even better in COBOL but the concept of 
getting in done in CL is just appealing to me, so let's not have a 
discussion about the better place to do it.

Now, does anyone have an example of calling the Remote Journal 
Information API in CL?

Once I get the project done, I'll post to open source.
