Not at liberty. Suffice it to say that I think the question was/is
pointless. The studies/tests so far bear me out.

Why do you need to know when a program was originally created?

Subject: RE: Create/Last Used Program Dates
Did some more searches and still couldn't find the answer to my first
question. I thought, perhaps, that when a program was re-compiled, that the
creation date *might* be unchanged; i.e., retaining it from the object it
was replacing.
But I tested that (lame) theory by re-compiling a program. Its creation
date is now today. So I guess there's no way to tell when a program was
originally created absent a journal entry, right?

Subject: Create/Last Used Program Dates
I have a program that, using DSPOBJD, shows a creation date of 9 May 2006.
I know there's been a lot of discussion about creation dates and,
especially, last used dates here. I tried searching the archives and the
Info Center but could not find what I need.
Is the created date the actual date that the object was created? It, also,
shows a last used date of 9 December 2011 (today). I ran this at 0630, when
I first got here, and I'm the first one in the building. In fact every
program I checked (even unused or rarely used ones) shows the same last used
date. The library was backed up (via a WRKJOBSCDE entry) early this
morning. It seems that saving the library also changes the last used date;
is that correct?
