       /JOURNAL=(filename )

    Qualifier type:  Global qualifier

    Supported file   Local (RMS) files
    types:

    This qualifier controls whether you want the FTAM service provider
    to negotiate recovery and restart with the peer FTAM entity (if it
    supports recovery). When the /JOURNAL qualifier is present, then
    the FTAM protocol machine will insert checkpoints within the data
    and will maintain a docket that contains recovery-related
    information.

    If an error occurs during data transfer, and the image has not
    exited, the FTAM protocol machine will attempt to recover from the
    error, using the checkpoints.

    Default action:  No journaling
