Do be careful about using the system cross reference files QADBxxx.  These
are physical implementations of the more generic SQL catalogue files
SYSTABLES, SYSROWS, etc.  You can see them all in QSYS2.

Also, it may be a good time to start working with the system APIs.  One that
may apply to your situation is QDBRTFVD.  The documentation for that can be
seen here:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/v5r1/ic2924/info/apis/qdbrtvfd
.htm or
http://makeashorterlink.com/?H4F32136

If you're not immediately comfortable looking at this documentation, you're
not alone.  Many others have felt the same way.  APIs are _the_ way to
access system level information, so there's a lot of value to be gained from
learning how to use them.  The home page for all documentation is the Info
centre at http://www.iseries.ibm.com/infocenter  Take some time to follow
the links on the left side, here you are probably interested in Programming,
CL and APIs.

The save date/time can be found with the QUSROBJD API.  An example of that
API is in the iSeries-toolkit at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/iseries-toolkit/.  Look for RTVOBJD.
