Re: Source line change dates

is it possible that he was using a source compare and merge tool?
These could set the date to all the same current job date.

Buck, Jeff,

Thanks for the information. One of our developers had reported the
problem to me regarding the line change date not being correct for him. In
one case, it set all of the lines to the current date. In another case, it
used a date two or three days old. It turns out he had left RDI open for a
couple of days and it was apparently using the date from when it was
started. He is unable to reproduce the error with all the lines being set
to the same date, so I guess we will leave it go for now. Restarting RDI
seemed to clear up his problems.

I have had this happen in the past when using the Add Signature to
automatically put a value in col 1 - 5 for each changed line.
Sometimes, when saving the member, it would put the signature in every

line

and set the last changed date as current date.
I had to turn off the Add Signature and use Ctl-Z to remove the incorrect
changes.
Has not happened recently, but now I always turn that function off

before I

save the member.

Is there a preference somewhere that controls how RDI treats the change

you save the member. I thought there was a preference that would

whether or not it would track the change dates at the line level. I

looked

for it, but I couldn't find anything.

This has never happened to me that I can recall, but I have a very
simplistic environment. No Change Management, no Source Version
Control, no iProjects.
