CPYSRCF member change date bug finally fixed

IBM has finally fixed a long outstanding bug when a member is copied with 
CPYSRCF.
The V5R4 PTF is SI25844
The V5R3 PTF is SI25796

CORRECTION FOR APAR SE27355 :   
   CPYSRCF will change to allow the Source Change Date to be the
   same when the MBROPT is *REPLACE, or a new member is added. In   
   other words:   
   1) If CPYSRCF creates a new member or if MBROPT(*REPLACE) is  
   specified, we will preserve the FROMMBR last source change date.  
   2) If CPYSRCF does not create a new member and MBROPT(*ADD) is    
   specified, we will update the last source change date. 

 
This source file shows the effects of the change.
I copied XXCVOTHERS to ZZCVOTHERS prior to applying the PTF.
It set the source change date to the current date 2007/01/18
I copied XXCVPETERS to ZZCVPETERS after applying the PTF.
It left the source change date as 2001/03/22
