The following table summarizes GDE journal qualifiers available to establish criteria for your journal file. It provides abbreviations, defaults (as provided by Fidelity Information Services), and allowable minimum and maximum values.

You can create the files and define the parameters; however, you must use MUPIP SET to actually enable journaling.
