Buck & Jim, The QDBRTVFD API will give you what you need but it is likely that it is overkill. I would look at QUSLMBR and QUSRMBRD, which are simpler. I plan to provide support for all three of these APIs to the iSeries-toolkit (http://iseries-toolkit.sourceforge.net) real soon. Off the top of my head I remember that the List Member API deals with list items differently than most of the other list APIs.

Bill replied: >The date and time saved can be gotten >by using DSPOBJD command (DSPOBJD >*all/*all *FILE) to an output file and >then selecting the particular file >attribute you want. >There is also a file named QSYS/QADBXREF 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. --buck
