RE: CRTDUPOBJ: how to retain the create date and usage info

["Stone, Joel" <Joel.Stone@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the tip.

So I tried SAVOBJ/RSTOBJ.

Now I lose the "Last used date" info, which is critical to retain for this project.

Is it possible to create a copy of an object and retain both the CREATE-DATE and the LAST-USED-DATE?

I tried SAVOBJ UPDHST(*NO) but this still stepped on the last-used date when restored.



Thanks

Joel:

By definition, CRTDUPOBJ creates a new object based on an existing 
object as a "template". The new object will have today's date and time 
as the "Create Date" and the current user profile as the object owner.

If you want to "clone" a objects from one library to another, preserving 
all of the attributes, you could do something like this:

     CRTSAVF    QTEMP/SAVF
     SAVOBJ    OBJ(objectname) LIB(libraryone) DEV(*SAVF) 
SAVF(QTEMP/SAVF) OBJTYPE(*PAGSEG) UPDHST(*NO)
     RSTOBJ    OBJ(objectname) SAVLIB(librarytwo) DEV(*SAVF) 
SAVF(QTEMP/SAVF) OBJTYPE(*PAGSEG)

Hope that helps,
