Re: get member timestamps

Anybody know if there's an API in JTOpen to get the timestamp of a
file member (so we can get rid of some old PCML code that calls
into OS/400)?

Open the member as either an IFSFile or an IFSJavaFile and call the
lastModified() method?
Is that really possible (opening a member as an IFSFile)? We couldn't get it to work.
You must use e.g. a SequentialFile to actually read/write from it (which again requires you to learn the record structure first). I have working code, if you need it.
I meant to just call e.g. "new IFSFile" with the full name of the member (/QSYS..../WHATEVER.MBR), and then ask for whatever you need (exists(), lastModified(), etc).
