here are some examples:

call lsexplr, then wrkobj lsexplr:

an IBM program used by everybody every day:

                       Display Object Description - Full
                                                                 Library 1 of
1

 Change/Usage information:
   Change date/time . . . . . . . . . :   07/28/00  02:15:29

I can understand (barely) that IBM programs do not update the
