The INQUIRE JOURNALNAME command returns information about the journals (including the system log and general logs) on your system.
You can also browse through all the journal entries in the journal names table on your system by using the browse options (START, NEXT, and END) on INQUIRE JOURNALNAME commands. See Browsing resource definitions for general information about browsing, including syntax, exception conditions, and examples.
To inquire on journals defined with a numeric identifier in the range 1-99, specify journal name DFHJnn, where nn is the journal number.
To inquire on the system log, specify DFHLOG.
The name can be up to 26 characters in length. Names less than 26 character are padded with trailing blanks (X'40'). If the journal is defined by a journal model that specifies a type of DUMMY or SMF, CICS returns 26 blanks.
