Re: Source changes ...

Ken -
Are you journalling these source files? (to see what happened)
An authority change will update the member "change date".
A change to the member text description will update member "change date".
PDM scan will not update change date.
Do you have software to chg indentation, comments, document begin/end
statements, etc?
