Re: Object creation info

[David McKenzie <davemck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Strangely enough, the "USAGE" info is not in the object itself, but in the OIR
(Object Information Repository).  In fact, everything in the DMPOBJ output
after the string "OIR DATA-" is in the OIR (TEXT, SERVICE, ATTRIBUTE, etc.).
The OIR is part of the library the object is contained in.  You can see it by
doing DMPOBJ on the library, then look for a space of type *OIRS (type 19,
subtype 52).

The creation date/time is in the object at offset x50.  It's in 8-byte system
time-stamp format, which can be converted with the QWCCVTDT API.  (For trivia
buffs: the system time-stamp went from x7.... to x8.... on 1/1/2000.)
