Wild guess here on my part Joel but you may want to investigate the security journal, auditing users and auditing objects. You can derive last used date from the journal entries containing the object(s) you are interested in. The journal receivers can be restored to a separate system and interrogated.

Hi, again, Joel:

Correction to my earlier reply -- the QLICOBJD API "last changed" key
only lets you change the object's last changed date and time stamp to
the current date-time stamp, or not change it at all. So, this may not
help you.

If you can explain why you think you need this "last changted" date to
be set the same as the original object, and what exactly you are doing
with that information, perhaps we can suggest some alternatives.

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

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,

Mark S. Waterbury

How can this be accomplished?

Object type = *pagseg and *ovl, maybe others

Thanks!
