RE: Object changed date different in 7.2 -or- 7.3

Just tested on both our 7.1 partition (I'm doing that upgrade this
weekend) and our 7.2 partition. A record change in both of them changes
the last change date.

I am currently on a 7.1 box (7.2 migration next weekend). I looked at

a file

that gets little use, and the change date was old. I looked at another

file that

gets a lot of activity and it shows a change date of today. Note:
we do SAVE21 nightly (yes, we have that luxury).

All,

Last weekend we went live from our onsite System i 520 at 7.1 to a
cloud partition at 7.3.

I have an application that sends files to a website on a nightly

basis,

but only if the file has changed.

To determine whether the file had changed I was using RTVOBJD and

using

the CHGDATE parm. On 7.1 this worked. On 7.3 this does not work.

For

example, our item master has thousands of record changes every day,

but

the RTVOBJD CHGDATE parm says the last change was last Saturday, when
the file was restored. To fix it, I changed to RTVMBRD and all is

well

with the

app.

However, I didn't remember anything in either the 7.2 or 7.3 MTU

about

a change like this. Looked at them again this morning and did not

find

anything on this.

Anyone know anything on this?

Thanks.
