Hi Guys,
Is there a way to determine when the last record of a file was
written?
Prevesh, I don't know if this is an option for you, but this is a favorite technique of mine: I add a timestamp field called "written" to the physical file. Make sure it is NOT NULL capable. Then create a logical view over the file that does not include the timestamp field. If you write a record to the logical, it will automatically initialize the timestamp field to the date/time the record was written.
