Matt,
Just to clarify.... not the COPY command but the Copy command shown
in RDI. I understand what you are saying about the command line COPY
but whatever Rdi /Isphere uses (and it may very well be command line COPY)
just clobbers the SRCDAT source file with current date.

When I run this command DSPF '/path.lib/to.file/src.mbr' instead of COPY I
do not see the viewer showing me source dates and sequence numbers, so I
would guess that there is nothing to be done using COPY. You might have
the developer use SAVRSTOBJ to save across systems.
If you were using a change management product with deployment then you
would not really care about change dates as much but the number of
archived versions. Then you would ship over objects from your develop
system production libraries.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDI-Date last Changed
I've searched both RPG and Midrange forums with no success. One of our
programmers using RDI has started saving his developed/changed source
programs using COPY from development to production and is losing all the
previous record change dates in the source. (SRCDAT).
Is there any known solution to this? I'd hate to have him go back to
using FTP but...
To clarify, the target copy seems to change the SRCDAT to today's date
when the copy happens because the original source is not changed.
