Re: The creation date of a record in a PF?

The file is journaled but the records in question are very old so I cannot
retrieve the information from the journal receiver...

Hi Charles,

It's common practice to add a timestamp field for the record creation

date-time, though there are other ways to go about this.  A variation on
this theme is a change log that is managed by a trigger.  Both approaches
require code to be developed to capture and maintain this information.

Perhaps the file is journaled, in which case you could retrieve the date

for that record from the journal.  However, if the record is very old, it
may be unlikely that the journal receiver that held the entry for that
record is still available on the system.  I do not know any other way to
determine record creation date and time.

Hi!

Is there any standard command to know the creation date of a record in a
physical file?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Charles
