Re: Do IFS objects have a last-saved date?

[vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I often wonder about this - the UPDHST parameter on the SAV command intrigues me - here is the help text

Update history (UPDHST)
Specifies whether to update the save history on the objects saved with this save operation. The save history information is used when CHGPERIOD(*LASTSAVE) is specified on a later save operation.
This suggests there might be a last save date even on IFS objects - anyone know for sure?

Off to the iSocial!
