RE: Removing old journal receivers

Jeff,

You can use the Retrieve Journal Receiver Information (QjoRtvJrnReceiverInformation) API. It returns information about a journal receiver including detach date.

So how do you find the receiver name? You can use the DSPOBJD command for *JRNRCV writing the output to a table or, you can use the Retrieve Journal Information (QjoRetrieveJournalInformation) API. Use key 1 to obtain a journal's directory.

Subject: Removing old journal receivers

All,
Given a user journal name and library, I need to remove any journal
receivers that are over n days old.
This method needs to be done in a program without user intervention.

I have not been able to find an IBM command that will allow me to get this
data.
The customer is on V6R1M0.

TIA
