Chuck,

Do a DSPOBJD on the file/program.  Scroll down to the Change Date/Time field
and hit F1.  A window will pop up and say this:

                  Change Date/Time - Help                   
                                                            
For most objects:                                          
                                                            
    Indicates the date and time of the last change to the  
    object.                                                
                                                            
For database files:                                        
                                                            
    Indicates the date and time that the object was first  
    modified after a SAVLIB request.  If the data is      
    changed again, the change is not reflected on the     
    DSPOBJD command until another SAVLIB request is       
    processed and the data is changed again.  You can use 
    the Display File Description (DSPFD) command to show  
    the last change date and time value to find out when  
    each member of the file was modified.                 

Regards,

Jim Langston

I've seen this too Leif and if YOU don't know... :-)

I thought some time back someone explained this to me. It looks as though
different type of access to an object reflect differently in this usage
reporting. PERFECT example is that yesterday I was running a CL that cleared to
PF's and then ran an RPG program that read 2 other files, and then reloaded the
files that were cleared.

I was doing a display object description on them and noticed that while the
Change Date was the same for BOTH of them, the Change Time was different by 2
HOURS. These BOTH got cleared one right after the other in the CL and got 
written
to in the SAME RPG progam that ran in under 9 minutes ! As I dug further into
this I discovered this:

The Change Time on the first file was the time the job was FIRST run on 12/21...
I then changed the CL and added this second file and reran things and the Change
time on the second file was again, the time this job was first RERUN with this
second file. It was executed 2 more times and the Change Time still reflected 
the
FIRST time either file was used on 12/21 !!! ???

Chuck
