Re: sql to obtain date shown in PDM for member (f14)

He was using syscolumns against the source PF's, not the actual tables.

Well, this line suggests otherwise:

and b.system_table_member = a.sys_tname

He's getting the table names from SYSCOLUMNS which match the source
member names from SYSPARTITIONSTAT. If you want to call that "using
syscolumns against the source PF's" well, then I guess he's guilty as
charged, but that was his whole objective in the first place.

Rob, you seem to enjoy being snotty-but-obliquely-helpful by pointing
out what you consider mistakes, or at least "suboptimal" solutions.
What surprises me is that you've now given two responses that aren't
even backhandedly helpful, yet you haven't bothered to mention that an
explicit JOIN clause is better than the "comma-where" style of
joining.
