The Check Remote  Journal command checks  for an *ACTIVE  journal state
of a  remote journal.   If the state  is not *ACTIVE,  different escape
messages  are sent to describe the  current state (TAA9895 = *INACTIVE,
TAA9896 = *FAILED, and *TAA9897  = *CTLINACT).  This provides  a simple
means  of testing  for  the critical  ongoing  requirement that  allows
remote journaling to be successful.

A typical command would be:

             CHKRMTJRN     JRN(xxx)

A  completion message  is sent if  the remote  journal is  in an active
state.

The Target Journal  and RDB (Relational  Data Base) parameters  default
to  allow  the first  remote  journal  attached  to  be checked.    The
completion message describes what was checked.

CHKRMTJRN escape messages you can monitor for
---------------------------------------------

      TAA9895    The remote journal is in an *INACTIVE state
      TAA9896    The remote journal is in a *FAILED state
      TAA9897    The remote journal is in a *CTLINACT state

For  a complete  understanding of  the  possible 'journal  states', use
WRKJRNA, then  F16,  place  the  cursor  on  the  'journal  state'  and
request Help.

Escape messages from based on functions will be re-sent.

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

   SRCJRN        The qualified  name of  the source  journal which  has
                 the target  journal to be checked.   The library value
                 defaults to *LIBL.  *CURLIB may also be used.

   RDB           The  relational data  base name that  was specified on
                 the ADDRMTJRN command  RDB parameter.  The  default is
                 *ALL meaning any name is valid.

   TGTJRN        The qualified  name of the target  journal to retrieve
                 information  from.   The default  is *ALL  which means
                 the first  remote  journal  associated  with  the  RDB
                 entry.    If  both  RDB   and  TGTJRN  are  *ALL,  the
                 information  from  the first  or  only  remote journal
                 will be returned.

                 If *ALL  is  specified  for the  target  journal,  the
                 qualified library name must be blank.

                 If  a  specific  target journal  name  is  entered,  a
                 qualified  library  library name  must  be entered  or
                 *LIBL or *CURLIB.
