The Journal feature knows the receiver has been saved. That is because a J-RS journal entry gets logged to the current receiver, so the Journal feature can reflect that historical effect in the "Status", as obtained from the receiver-chain information maintained with the Journal (*JRN) object; if the receiver had never been attached, the status will always show EMPTY irrespective any save activity. After the receiver has been attached to a journal however, the "Save date" and "Save time" will be extracted from the Object Information Record (OIR) when the Display Journal Receiver Attributes (DSPJRNRCVA) is requested. Thus if a receiver [that had been attached sometime in the past] has never been saved with Update History (UPDHST) specified as *YES [to effect including the save history in the OIR of that Journal Receiver (*JRNRCV) object], then those Date\Time attributes are presented as zeroes or blank to indicate that the information is not available. The Display Object Description (DSPOBJD) for DETAIL(*FULL) shows blanks for Save Date/Time instead of zeroes; perhaps a better choice for the time attribute, given all-zero-digits is a valid time.
