Yes, that works, thanks.  We don't need to read it, we just want to use 
it in a purge program that deletes old members that represent orders 
sent from a web server.  The purge program runs on the web server 
itself, which is a Linux box.

Cool piece of code, this "AS/400 Toolbox for Java"!  :)

Here's a snip from the test program:

weyco400 = new AS400("machine", "user", "password");
ifsFile = new IFSFile(weyco400, 
          "/QSYS.LIB/SHADOW.LIB/SHADOWSRC.FILE/CCOLORS.MBR");
if (ifsFile.exists()) {
  lastModified = ifsFile.lastModified();
  if (lastModified > 0) {
    date = new Date(lastModified);
    sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
    System.out.println("member date: " + sdf.format(date));
  }
}
