Re: Suggestion for logging RPG program

You can also write directly to a journal receiver, I would suggest setting up a specific journal for that function. See APIs to do it.

Auditors love it since once the receiver is written it cannot be altered unlike a table or log file in IFS.

Not that I know of without writing your own log entries to a table or via snd-msg.

I have written my own common logging tables before to write logs for CL or RPG.
