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

What kind of change happens with your tables? Simple CRUD operations don’t change the "Change date/time" on the object.

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

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.
