Hi, Joel:

Why is the "last used" date "critical" to your project? =-O

Of course the last used date is reset, because this newly restored object has never been used yet. :-\

What are you trying to do, exactly?

You could use the QLICOBJD (Change Object Description) API to change the "last used" date of each object, to "match" the original object, after you restore each object ...

Good luck with that ...

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

Subject: Re: CRTDUPOBJ: how to retain the create date and usage info

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,

How can this be accomplished?

Object type = *pagseg and *ovl, maybe others

Thanks!
