Journalling can include Open/Closes - allowing you to capture access to //////////////////////////////////////////// You can use DSPFD and you will find # of logical reads and # of physical reads. There is Statistics for data activity and access path activity. There is a way to restart the statistics but I can't find how. Regards, Wilson

In this case, I’m not concerned with exactly which records are read, but rather how many are read. And that, I think, is the problem with tracking the number of opens and/or closes. I can tell a table was accessed, but I can’t tell how much was pulled (ie are they looking up a customer, or are they pulling a customer list?)

You can add a read trigger the each table, it would call an RPGLE program whenever a record was called. It passes user info and the record which could log the access by record to a database file.
