You use the DSPJRN command.
Last week I answered a similiar question and suggest that you download the FREE command EXPJRNE.
Here is the link http://www.tools400.de/English/Freeware/Utilities/utilities.html
The reason this is nice with the DSPJRN you get individual fields for all the "extra" stuff, when the entry was done, who did it, etc.. But he data for for the record from your file is just one character string.
The EXPJRNE also will split that character string into individual fields.

You can use DSPJRN to view the entries or to output them to a database file. You can use the RCVJRNE command to receive entries (or blocks of entries) into a program in near real-time as entries are added to the journal receiver. You can use the RTVJRNE command to retrieve specific entries (or blocks) into a CL program.

The Retrieve Journal Entries (QjoRetrieveJournalEntries) API can also be used to retrieve entries into programs.
