Guys:

We use an example that Rob showed us to copy the results of various audit extracts (IE: dspusrprf *all) etc. to CSV files so the auditors can look sort and manipulate as they desire. Works Great, but: Now the auditors are complaining that an CSV can be modified, and there is no time stamp on the creation of the file.

Is there a way to make the resulting file read only, and put a line in it that delineates when the file was created?
