Physical file Data change date/time

I've searched the net and tried the archives, but to no avail.

I'd like to programmatically get the date and time that the data in a
physical file changed. Not when the object changed but when the data
changed, available only (it appears) in a DSPFD statement. My question
is "Where does DSPFD get the last change date and time?" It must be in
the system somewhere...QUSROBJD shows if for example a member was
added... but not when the data was last modified.

I found the QADBXREF table in QSYS2 and it seems to have what I want but
only files in *SYSBAS not in an IASP.

I know that I can do a DSPFD to an outfile and read the outfile but I
feel that's rather 'old school' when I'm used to working with API's and
getting the exact information I need directly instead of commands to
outfile and/or print files.

Does anyone know where the system keeps this data? Thanks for any help
