Re: Is there a way to merge source files without disturbing member dates?

[Dave McKenzie <davemck@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a CPYSRCMBR cmd that I'm sending you off-list.  It includes a
CHGSRCDAT cmd that changes those source timestamps.

Of course, you may not want to use it because it uses a system-state MI
pgm, and I know you have an aversion to those :-)
