Re: Easiest way for a program to get the datestamp on a save file's contents?

[Bruce Vining <bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not at all sure I understand your question/scenario, but the List Save
File (QSRLSAVF) API returns the save date and time for the objects within
the *SAVF being referenced. You may (this is where I get unclear on what
you're doing) need to restore the *SAVF from the packaging *SAVF in order to
have the API use the desired *SAVF.
