Journalling in AS400

I used dspjrn command to take the journals for a file in as400. In resultant journal, all decimal fields has become zeros, even if there is a value for those fields in the file. What could be the reason?

I can think of two possibilities

1) You're looking at an "after image" for a delete transaction
2) The journal is configured to minimize entry data.

For #1, look at the "before" image if available, or look for the "after" image of the prior insert/update.

For #2, Look at the Minimize entry data setting show via Work with Journal Attributes (WRKJRNA)

The available options as shown here Create Journal (CRTJRN) - MINENTDTA parameter

Minimize entry specific data (MINENTDTA) Specifies which object types
allow journal entries to have minimized entry specific data.

Journal receivers using the *FLDBDY option to minimize the entry
specific data cannot be saved and restored to any release prior to
V5R4M0 nor can they be replicated to any remote journal on a system at
a release prior to V5R4M0. See the Journal management topic collection
in the IBM i Information Center at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/ for restrictions and usage of
journal entries with minimized entry specific data.

*NONE No object type allows a journal entry with minimized entry specific data. Journal entries for all journaled objects will be
deposited in the journal with complete entry specific data.
*FILE Journaled files may have journal entries deposited with minimized entry specific data. The minimizing will not occur on field
boundaries. Therefore, the entry specific data may not be viewable and
may not be used for auditing purposes. This value cannot be specified
if *FLDBDY is specified.
*FLDBDY Journaled files may have journal entries deposited with minimized entry specific data. The minimizing for journaled files will
occur on field boundaries. Therefore, the entry specific data will be
viewable and may be used for auditing purposes
*DTAARA Journaled data areas may have journal entries deposited with minimized entry specific data.
