Re: Timestamp on a file

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alan,

As others have mentioned, this is easier at 6.1.

If you're not at 6.1, then your options are
1) trigger
2) access through LF/Views that don't contain the timestamp field.

As an added bonus, you can implement option #2 without recompiling!
Simply move the data to a new table, and create a LF/View over the new
table using the name of the original table.

HTH,
Charles
