If you have TAATOOLS, there is a command, CVTIFS, which returns all of
the information you may need from a particular IFS directory, including
Last Attribute Change Date and Last Data Change Date.

Hi, Terrence:
If that's what you want, why not just write your own command (and
command processing program)?
That's why IBM gave us the ability to create commands.
And that way, you could write this command processing program in ILE RPG
IV, or even in ILE C/400, since it would probably be much easier to deal
with the stat() API that way.
And then just use your new command in your CL programs, as and when
needed.
Cheers,
Mark S. Waterbury

Hth,

I wonder ... Is this requirement--to retrieve `stat` info in a CL
program--common? Can we convince IBM to give us a *CMD wrapped around
`stat`?
Cheers,
Terry,
the guy with a fetish for command definitions.

Subject: How do I retrieve a STMF change date in a CLP
I have been asked to create a CL that will be used to promote IFS
objects. In the CL I have to find out if the object exists and what
the Last Change date is. Is this possible in a CL?
To see if the object exists I have tried "CD /ToTheDir/TheStreamFile"
and monitoring for a CPFA0AB message. I am using RTVDIRINF on the
object to get the change date but this is a slow method.
Thanks
Jim
