  The /change date/ of data is maintained by the member.  The date can 
be obtained as an attribute of the /file/ in the directory of the *FILE 
in the /QSYS.LIB, or from the member using a method that gets the date 
using the QUSRMBRD API.  Note: If the *FILE is a PF-SRC, then the date 
of interest is the /source change date/ rather than the change date. 
Note: The change date for the member includes changes other than those 
to the data... which is true for the file object as well.
