RE: Source line change dates - IFS vs source physical files

The original version of CodeStudio supported and maintained the
statement/line change dates. When we moved to FTP, IBM left off the change
dates from the transferred source members. So we had to (A) write our own
transfer tool, or (B) use FTP and abandon the statement dates.
The same thing is now true with storing source code in the IFS. The
structure does not include the statement change dates. :(  Of course in
CodeStudio if the change date were not their it would still work, and if
they were there it would maintain them--it didn't care.  So yes, I believe
IBM could/should add the line change dates to the "text" or IFS source
files.

I wondered if the line change dates were a property of source physical 
files, or the property of the editors involved.  Your remark seems to 
indicate that it is a property of the editor itself.

That being so, then there is no reason that IBM couldn't fix the fact that 
storing source in the IFS doesn't currently support line change dates.

The things I like about ... CODE ... it does maintain the SEU line change 
dates ...
