Source changes ...

["Graap, Ken" <keg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are trying to put together a process for listing when a source file
member was changed last...

When we list member descriptions for a source file to a database file we see
all kinds of data including:

MBFCCN            Century created:  0=19xx, 1=20xx    
MBFCDT            Date created: year/month/day        
MBFCTM            Time created: hour/minute/second    

MBCCEN            Member creation century: 0=19xx, 1=20xx  
MBCDAT            Member creation date: year/month/day     
MBCTIM            Member creation time: hour/minute/second 

MBCHGC            Last change century: 0=19xx, 1=20xx       
MBCHGD            Last change date: year/month/day          
MBCHGT            Last change time: hour/minute/second  
    
MBUPDC            Last source update century: 0=19xx, 1=20xx
MBUPDD            Last source update date: year/month/day   
MBUPDT            Last source update time: hour/minute/secon

The MBCDAT date seems to be reasonable as well as the MBUPDD date. However,
the MBCHGD date doesn't seem to make sense. What events could be causing
this field to be updated. We found some source files in our protected
production source file that had a MBCHGD with today's date! Even though the
MBUPDD date was something like 8/27/99 ...

So my question for the group is, what events cause these date fields to get
updated, especially the MBCHGD field?
